Week 27

This week we are reading "Little Bear's Friend." It is a fantasy story where animals talk and take on human qualities. The sound for the week is the long i sound made by the letter y at the end of a word as in why. The new vocabulary words are:

again

blue

high

love

opened

hello

Monday - Today is Save Your Vision Day. List things you can do to have healthy eyes.

Tuesday - "Remember the Alamo." Where is this famous fort? Name someone who fought there?

Wednesday - Happy birthday, cornflakes, 1897. What is your favorite cereal?

Thursday - Alexander Graham Bell's first phone message, 1876. List some good phone manners. Do you know your phone number?

In math we will be doing attributes, pattern blocks, and polygons.
