This week...

Good evening parents and guardians,

This is going to be a fun, busy, short week. Here is a look at my week's plans:

• Language Arts
• Story: Jack and the Beanstalk
• Content Knowledge: Real and Make-Believe Plants
• Phonemic Awareness: Initial Sounds
• Phonics: /i/ Spelled Ii
• Comprehension Skill: Realism and Fantasy
• Handwriting: I and i
• Language Arts TESTING
• This past Friday the students took their weekly comprehension exam on sequencing. The students were read a story and were asked to asked place 3 pictures in order. The students had a bit of a difficult time with this exam. I know my students are able to tell me the beginning, middle and end of a story, they do it all the time. Since the test scores were not as high as I felt they could be, i retested them again today. I used a different story, but still maintaining the same objective: sequencing. These new test score were much better!
• Since we are currently covering the final week of Unit 2, the students will be taking their Unit 2 exam. The exam will cover everything they have learned this unit.
