piece, believe, again, brought, neighbor, tongue, toes, friend, weird, asked, height, heard, rattle, hospital, field, said, only, weight, heart, and pickle.

The Week of March 28, 2011
LIFESKILL OF THE WEEK:
The lifeskill that we are working on this week is Friendship
BOOK REPORT
The March book report is on a (nonfiction) science book. There is a project that needs to be completed at home for this book report. We will discuss the book report and all the terms this week. I will ask each student to put the book report form in their Home Folder so you and your child can review the types of questions and the assignment for the book report. Please talk with your child about the importance of completing work in a timely fashion. When students wait until the last minute to start long-term projects, it creates tension and frustration. Learning to use time wisely is a skill that will be used for a lifetime. The March book report is due this Thursday, March 31st.
READING
This week we will be reading the 22nd story in our reading book, "A Peddler's Dream" (U5S2). The skill we will be focusing on is PLOT. A plot is a series of events that center on a problem, or conflict. A conflict can be a problem between two people or groups, or between a person and nature. Conflicts can also be problems that characters have within themselves. The climax is where the action of the story builds and the conflict must be faced. The resolution is where the problem is solved.
The spelling words this week are words with kn, gn, wr, or mb. They are: knot, unknown, know, knit, knob, kneel, sign, design, assign, writing, wrist, wreck, wreath, wrench, wren, climb, thumb, limb, comb, and lamb. Their Spelling homework is to use the words in sentences. The students should underline each spelling word. The Tuesday night homework is due on Wednesday. The vocabulary for this week is: bound, fortune, mission, peddling, purchased, quarters, and trudged. The challenge vocabulary words are: betrothed, calico, dowry, merchandise, and wares.
NEW TERM
It is hard to believe that the end of the year is so near. This week we will be starting a new grading period (Spring Term). We will not have an AAI list today because of the new term. Please check each Monday to see if your child has any missing assignments so they can complete them and turn them in as soon as possible.
STATE TESTS
We will have two more rounds of State Tests for students who have not passed. The next round will be April 25-29, and the last round will be the week of May 16-20. If your child has already passed, they will not need to take the test again.
RETIREMENT
If you haven't already heard it from your child, I am going to be retiring at the end of the school year. Teaching has been such an important part of my life for so long and it is with bittersweet feelings that I embark on this new adventure. As part of my retirement, I will be cleaning out all of the teaching supplies that I have collected over the last thirty years. I will be giving teacher materials to staff that would like them, but I also have lots of other items that I think my students might enjoy having. I will be giving tickets for a variety of reasons, for example "good behavior" and "assignments completed". Those tickets will go into a container and we will have periodic drawings for items that I have decided to give away. If you would not like your child to be involved in these drawings and bring home items that they choose, please let me know (note or phone call) so that I don't send things with them. Thank you for all of your support this year. Weddle is truly a wonderful place to be!!

The vocabulary for this week is: bound, fortune, mission, peddling, purchased, quarters, and trudged. The challenge vocabulary words are: betrothed, calico, dowry, merchandise, and wares.
NEW TERM
It is hard to believe that the end of the year is so near. This week we will be starting a new grading period (Spring Term). We will not have an AAI list today because of the new term. Please check each Monday to see if your child has any missing assignments so they can complete them and turn them in as soon as possible.
STATE TESTS
We will have two more rounds of State Tests for students who have not passed. The next round will be April 25-29, and the last round will be the week of May 16-20. If your child has already passed, they will not need to take the test again.
RETIREMENT
If you haven't already heard it from your child, I am going to be retiring at the end of the school year. Teaching has been such an important part of my life for so long and it is with bittersweet feelings that I embark on this new adventure. As part of my retirement, I will be cleaning out all of the teaching supplies that I have collected over the last thirty years. I will be giving teacher materials to staff that would like them, but I also have lots of other items that I think my students might enjoy having. I will be giving tickets for a variety of reasons, for example "good behavior" and "assignments completed". Those tickets will go into a container and we will have periodic drawings for items that I have decided to give away. If you would not like your child to be involved in these drawings and bring home items that they choose, please let me know (note or phone call) so that I don't send things with them. Thank you for all of your support this year. Weddle is truly a wonderful place to be!!

THE WEEK OF MARCH 7TH, 2011
LIFESKILL OF THE WEEK:
The lifeskill that we are working on this week is Patience.
BOOK REPORT
The March book report is on a (nonfiction) science book. There is a project that needs to be completed at home for this book report. We will discuss the book report and all the terms this week. I will ask each student to put the book report form in their Home Folder so you and your child can review the types of questions and the assignment for the book report. Please talk with your child about the importance of completing work in a timely fashion. When students wait until the last minute to start long-term projects, it creates tension and frustration. Learning to use time wisely is a skill that will be used for a lifetime. The March book report will be due March 31st.
SPELLING/READING
This week we will be reading the 21st story in our reading book, "Amazing Alice" (U5S1). The skill we will be focusing on is Summarizing. A summary gives the main ideas of an article, or it tells what happened in a story. A summary is short, and it doesn't include unimportant details. A summary will help you recall and organize information.
The spelling words this week have prefixes (dis-,in-, mis-,re-). They are: dislike, disappear, distrust, dishonest, disagree, incomplete, independent, incorrect, invisible, inactive, misplace, misspell, misled, mistreat, misbehave, rebuild, reuse, react, replace, and recall. Spelling homework is to use the words in sentences. The students should underline each spelling word. The Tuesday night homework is due on Wednesday. The vocabulary for this week is: blacksmith, crank dependable, forge, ravines, and telegraph. The challenge vocabulary is: chaperones, contraptions, odometer, tiller, and trestle.

Reading every night is very important to your child's success in school. Please have them read a minimum of twenty minutes each night. Please sign your initials on their agenda. It is a great way for them to visualize their successes and to be a part of our reading celebration here at Weddle.
AAI means “ALL ASSIGNMENTS IN.” If students are focused in class they have time to finish all of their assignments except for Spelling and Math homework. Each Monday I will send home a sheet that will tell you if your child is missing any work in each subject area. Please review it with them Monday night, sign it, and have them return it to class on Tuesday. Anything that shows up missing on that sheet is work that was to be completed in the previous weeks. The students need to complete the work and turn it in to me as soon as possible. The Life Skill of responsibility is very important to learn at a young age. The following students were responsible about all of their work in class this term, and are on AAI:

Parent Activities To Encourage Children's Reading
By Joyce Melton Pagés, Ed.D.
1. Establish a family silent reading time. Make this an important family routine; this lets children see their parents reading, helps them understand that their parents value reading, and provides a quiet time to enjoy books and family.
2. Visit the library and check-out books on a regular basis. Go to bookstore and library story times.
3. Help your child find books related to his/her interests and hobbies. These books will be more motivating and interesting for them (because they are already interested).
4. Help your child locate books with characters that are his/her age or in his/her grade in school. Reading is much more enjoyable when children can relate to story characters.
5. Allow children to choose their own books. Allow them to read easy books (below their reading level). Some children will enjoy read-along audio cassettes (which you can check out from the library). Initially, it is important for reluctant readers to spend time simply enjoying books.

The students need to complete the work and turn it in to me as soon as possible. The Life Skill of responsibility is very important to learn at a young age. The following students were responsible about all of their work in class this term, and are on AAI:

The Week of February 1, 2011
LIFESKILL OF THE WEEK:
The lifeskill that we are working on this week is Problem Solving.
READING
This week we will be reading the 17th story in our reading book, "Blame It on the Wolf" (U4S2). The skill we will be focusing on is Compare and Contrast. To compare is to tell how two or more things are alike. To contrast is to tell how two or more things are different. Clue words such as like or as show comparisons. Clue words such as but, instead, and unlike show contrasts. Other clue words are words of comparison, such as smaller and more slender. We will also continue working on adjectives. An adjective is a word that describes a person, place, or thing. For instance: an adjective that tells what kind-The wolf went to the brick house. An adjective that tells how many-Three pigs met up with a wolf. An adjective that tells which one- That pig misunderstood the wolf. Adjectives are used to give more information and to make sentences more colorful.
SPELLING
The spelling words will be taken from there and are all contractions.
They are: we'll, you'd, it's, doesn't, they'll, would've, shouldn't I'm, that's, he'll, they'd, could've, let's, I'd, we've, what's, she'll, he'd, wouldn't . Spelling homework is to use the words in sentences. The students should underline each spelling word. The Tuesday night homework is due on Wednesday. The vocabulary for this week is: character, courtroom, evidence, guilty, and rescued. The challenge vocabulary is: appalling, defendant, verdict, witness, and wolf-like.
AAI means “ALL ASSIGNMENTS IN.” If students are focused in class they have time to finish all of their assignments except for Spelling and Math homework. Each Monday I will send home a sheet that will tell you if your child is missing any work in each subject area. Please review it with them Monday night, sign it, and have them return it to class on Tuesday. Anything that shows up missing on that sheet is work that was to be completed in the previous weeks.

WEEK OF JANUARY 24, 2011
LIFESKILL OF THE WEEK:
The lifeskill that we are working on this week is Common Sense. It means “to use good judgment”.
READING
This week we will be reading the 16th story in our reading book, “Half Chicken” (U4S1). He was born with only one wing, one leg, one eye, and half the feathers of other chickens, Half-Chicken soon became the center of attention-and very vain! He decided to leave the ranch and pay a visit to the viceroy in Mexico City. Along the way, Half-Chicken found time to be helpful to others. When he himself needed help, his kindness was repaid.
The students will be learning about paraphrasing which means to explain something in your own words. A paraphrase should include only the author’s ideas, not the student’s opinions. Paraphrasing can help students understand what they have read.
We will discuss adjectives, words that describe people, places, and things. They will learn that some adjectives tell what kind (describe color, shape, size, sound, taste, touch, or smell. Other adjectives tell how many.
SPELLING
The spelling words will be taken from there. They are: shown, short, punish, shelter, flashlight, trash, March, chapter, chocolate, church, watch, kitchen, pitcher, catcher, whatever, anywhere, whenever, wheat, awhile, and somewhere.
