In our class:

·       Letterland:

This week students will be introduced to the sound /ie/ with the ‘i_e’ spelling (as in kite and bike). We will refer to the letter ‘e’ in these spellings as a “magic e”. We will continue to read and answer comprehension questions from our “Zack and Ann” reader.

We will continue Domain 10: Colonial Towns and Townspeople. This week students will learn about the following tradespeople: the bricklayer, mason, and carpenter. Students will also hear the story “The Elves and the Shoemaker.” Our Domain 10 Assessment will be on Friday, April 17th.

This week we will review math concepts taught so far (identifying numbers, addition, subtraction, etc.).
