November 5-9th

It was a good week in our room. We worked hard and had a little fun too. Reading Group A and B worked together this week. We worked on ISAT extended response so that each student will be a little more prepared when testing time comes around. We read both "Cinderella" and "The Three Little Pigs" as practice stories to write about. Each student developed their own ideas and created their own paragraph. Each group also worked on Wilson Phonics. Group A worked on closed syllables and the exceptions to the closed syllable rule in section 2-3. Group B reviewed section 1-3. Please practice saying the sounds and words with your student at home! Language Arts group A reviewed how to write a complete paragraph, including forming a topic sentence and a conclusion. Language Arts group B worked on finishing up our final narrative draft. The students have become so good at forming ideas independently and writing full sentences. The final narrative was their best work yet.

Have a fantastic weekend and make sure to practice your Wilson Words!
