What we are learning in RLA: (Reading and Language Arts)
- Spelling: Reviewing short and long vowel sounds will get us started. (Spelling tests are on Friday.)
- Handwriting: We will be practicing writing in cursive - legibly - with Mrs. Reavis's help.
- Writing: Writing excellent sentences with capital letters, punctuation, subjects, predicates, and that make sense. We need to be able to recognize and correct fragments and run-ons in our writing!
- Reading at home aloud: Our first night reading genre will be Mysteries. Please listen to your child read every school night for 15 minutes.
- Reading at school: Fluency and confidence are our goals. Accuracy and meaning wiil get us there.
- Language Arts: Our initial focus will be on writing excellent sentences. We will also be diagramming sentences to recognize and identify parts of speech in order to improve our writing..
- Poems: We will learn a poem every week and get really good at memorizing and reciting poems comfortably. Students will recite their poem by Friday.
