Language Arts
In this next week we will be reading a story entitled Mole and Baby Bird All of our spelling words for the week will have the dipthong /ou/. In grammar we will be learning about exclamations, and syllables with the VCV pattern. In reading we will focus on identifying sequence. We will also be talking about using a glossary.
Math
We will continue our unit of study on measurement. We will be working on length, volume, weight and area, as we learn how to measure each, and what tools are best for measuring each unit. We are working with both standard and non-standard units of measurement.
