     Our Week at a Glance
     
      
    Reading - We are comparing and contrasting Alexander stories.
     
     
    This week we will focus on consonant -le and identifying all 6 syllable types in words.
    Our last review test is on Tuesday, May 3rd. 
     

    This week we will test on words 1-100.

                                                    To date, we have reviewed all short vowels, s, l, and r initial blends, final consonants th (both sounds), wh, ch and sh, qu, ck, and double final consonants with short vowels.
     We have introduced open syllables (go, me, hi) and y (sky, try, musty, puppy) soft c,
    and long a with a_e (race), long o with o_e (lone), long i with i_e (vine), along with soft g and dge, 
    e_e (these) and u_e (cute, flute).  We are learning vowel teams - long e sound with ee and ea, long a with ai and ay, long o with oa and oe, long i with igh and ie, and long u with ui, ue, and ew.
    We have also introduced contractions along with r controlled:  ar, or, and ore, er, ir, and ur.  We just learned gn, kn, and wr.
