In Reading Language Arts we will be reading a story called Lon Po Po on pages 96-113. The skills we will be concentrating on are reading guided comprehension, vocabulary, spelling words with double consonants, comparing and contrasting, following directions, articles (adjectives the, an and a) and writing effective sentences. On Thursday we will be taking our End of Selection Test. This is a vocabulary test along with reading comprehension from the story. The vocabulary words are listed on the spelling sheet and the students should study those throughout the week. Our spelling test will be on Friday. BOOK REPORTS FOR APRIL ARE DUE BY FRIDAY, May 2nd !!!
