Upcoming Dates
March 13th – No School
Skating: Skating is finished for the school year. A big thank you to everyone who came out to tie skates and snap helmets!
March 13th: Please note the above date change. The March 20th PL day has been changed to March 13th. There will be no school for K-8 students on March 13th and regular classes on March 20th.
Homework: Read 3 nights this week
Literacy:
We are looking at the -old, -olt, -ild, -ost, and -ind patterns are closed syllable exceptions (or “wild old words“) where the vowel makes a long sound instead of a short sound.
Even though the vowel is followed by two consonants (which usually makes a vowel short), the vowel “says its name” (e.g., cold, wild, find, most, bolt).
*** We are at the point in the year where word work and rules are starting to get complicated and there is a lot to remember. This is why it is so very important for students to do their nightly reading. These are words that students are exposed to in books and the more exposure they get, the easier it is to recognize and decode these words.
Word Work
mild – mind – hold – host – bolt – child
Heart Words
both
Math:
We will close off patterns by looking at how to write a pattern rule. We will also review addition and subtraction as we will be moving into two-digit addition and subtraction in April.
