May 20

ONLY in Wisconsin can we go from 39 and freezing winds to 80+ in a matter of hours!! Wow! Can you believe it?

Next week, we will be doing our Theme 6 skills tests. We are on our last story for this theme. Don't worry - we WILL be doing Reading, English, and Spelling activities as well as writing stories. The Spelling words for next week are on page 243 of the Student Handbook. They are:
took, fly, good, riding, high, room, night, find, chased, hoping, hook, mind, using, liked, making, zoo, light, named, sky, moon. Challenge Words are: school, reply, flight, teasing, and decided.

Science and Social Studies are connecting. We are reading about Natural Resources. It's great we are on similar chapters in both of these subjects! Today we made a chart on using water.

Our cursive writing practice is coming right along. I am hoping the kids use the correct formation at home. I let them take home some of the work after we have practiced the correct way of forming them. Some have tried connecting letters. I don't want them to try that until they learn the correct way to join them. Please encourage them to just practice the individual letters. They are doing GREAT with that!

Have a great evening!
