Week:October 12th-16th

Social Studies: We will continue Unit

live. This unit will also introduce the

students to the different places in

which people live and will describe the

characteristics of each of these places.

Spelling: We will be working on Unit 7

this week. Each word has one or more

consonant clusters. A consonant

cluster is two or more consonant

letters together. Their sounds blend.

They will have a test on Friday,

From the TeacherI hope everyone enjoyed the long

weekend. This week is going to be a

short one!

Lesson 4 on Tuesday. The

adjusted to the Daily Five

routine! I will be able to start

working with them in small

Five and what they are doing

your child that 3-digit numbers go
