We began Unit 5 with the theme of Responsibility this past week. Because this is a shortened week, our weekly Reading and Spelling Tests will take place on Thursday, March 14.
This week's main selection is literary nonfiction, entitled Fire Fighter!. Our comprehension skill focus is on Fact vs. Opinion. We continue to practice the strategy of finding the important ideas in a selection to help us understand it.
Vocabulary words from this week's selection are: building, burning, masks, quickly, roar, station, tightly.
In Phonics and Spelling, we are studying the prefixes -ly, ful, -er, and -or. Spelling words for Thursday's test are:
cheerful
visitor
slowly
weekly
teacher
helper
hardly
graceful
yearly
quickly
fighter
sailor
beautiful
neighbor
