SPELLING/READING
This week we will be reading the 28th story in our reading book, "Coming Home." The skill we will be focusing on is:
Fact or Opinion… A statement of fact tells something that can be proved true or false. A statement of opinion tells your ideas or feelings. It cannot be proved true or false, but it can be supported by facts and reasons. Sometimes statements of opinion begin with clues such as “I believe“.
The spelling words this week are words with the /k/ or /f/ sound. Usually the sound /k/ is spelled c, k, or ck: care, brake, track. The sound /f/ can be spelled ff, gh, or ph: stiff, laughed, photo. The words this week are: care, record, track, attack, giraffe, rough, dolphin, because, brake, pocket, stiff, enough, photo, elephant, cover, Kansas, snack, muffin, laughed, and alphabet. Spelling homework is to use the words in a compound sentence. The students should underline each spelling word. The Tuesday night homework is due on Wednesday. Please ask your child to practice their words each night. The vocabulary for this week is: dreamer, drifted, heroes, librarians, rusty, and tremble. The challenge vocabulary words are: haggle, preaching, theater, and Underground Railroad.
Book Report
The May book report is a BIOGRAPHY. The book report is due May 31 (Monday). The questions are as follows:
1. Why do you think a book was written about this person?
2. List three facts that made this person famous.
3. What do you think was this person’s most important accomplishment?

6. How that you’ve read the book, how do you feel about the main character?
7. Write a paragraph explaining how you think the course of history and the lives of the people in this book would have been different if the main character had not existed. What things would not have happened? What might have happened instead?
8. Make a puppet dressed as you chosen famous person. Have your puppet introduce himself/herself to the class and describe himself.
* Make a time line of events of the story
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 following students were responsible about all of their work in class this term, and are on AAI:

SPELLING/READING
This week we will be reading the 26th story in our reading book, "Koya's Cousin Del." The skill we will be focusing on is Visualizing. Visualizing means forming a mental image as you read. To help visualize, look for details that tell how things look, smell, sound, taste, and feel add what you know from your own experience to create an even clearer image in your mind. If you cannot visualize, reread or read more slowly to find details.
The spelling words this week are words that we have to practice in order to get the correct letter order. We have to watch for letter combinations that are hard to keep in order, and pay special attention to those parts. The words this week are:
piece, believe, again, brought, neighbor, tongue, toes, friend, weird, asked, height, heard, rattle, hospital, field, said, only, weight, heart, and pickle.
For homework the students are to use each word in a sentence. They should underline each spelling word. The Tuesday night homework is due on Wednesday.
The vocabulary for this week is: applause, auditorium, autographs, imitation, impatient, microphones, and performers. The challenge vocabulary words are: deduced, deliberately, emphasized, and escorted.
Reading every night is very important to your child's success in school. Please have them read a minimum of twenty minutes each night and write a 1/2 page reading response. 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.
