Phonics - We are learning about bonus letters.  The bonus letters we are working with are f, l, and s.  When a word is one syllable, has one short vowel, and ends with f, l, or s, usually you double the final consonant. To mark a bonus letter, you put a star over it.

We will also start learning about glued sounds.  The first glued sound we have learned about is -all.  To mark a glued sound, you put a box around it.

Reading - We have started to work in our guided reading groups.  While some students are working in groups, the other students are working in the daily 5 centers.

Math - In math we have been learning different adding strategies.  This week we will start learning different subtraction strategies.

Science - In our PLTW unit Light and Sound we explored four light centers - Mirror, Hand, Color Filter Cards, and Diffraction Grating.
