SPELLING WORDS

WORDS TO KNOW

I’m reading The Tiny Seed in class this week. I learned to draw conclusions. That doesn’t mean I draw a picture of a conclusion! It means I find the facts. Then, I put them together to figure out something the writer doesn’t tell me in words. The little seed in this story keeps traveling past dangers. I know that the seed may be little, but it is strong, too. Drawing conclusions makes me feel like a reading detective!

This Week’s Skills Comprehension: draw conclusions Vocabulary: context clues Phonics: the sounds of u and u_e as in cut and cube Spelling: words with u

The flowers are not in the vase. They are not on the shelves. The flowers are small. They are not in the cup. Could the flowers be on the desk? Where are the flowers?

The cap is not on the chair. It isn’t floating in the water. It is not next to the blanket. The cap has dots on it. Sammy has a book in his beach bag. Where is Sammy’s cap?

PALABRAS DE ORTOGRAFÍA

Titulares Vamos a escribir titulares con estas palabras. Te voy a preguntar qué quiere decir cada una y después la usaremos para formar el titular de un periódico. Podemos crear un cuento a partir de uno de los titulares.

Esta semana estoy leyendo en clase The Tiny Seed. Aprendí a sacar conclusiones. ¡Eso no quiere decir que le saco una parte al cuento! Quiere decir que encuentro datos y luego los combino para comprender lo que el autor no expresa con palabras. La semillita de este cuento debe pasar de un peligro a otro. Sé que es pequeñita, aunque también es fuerte. ¡Sacar conclusiones me hace sentir como un detective de la lectura!

Destrezas de la semana Comprensión: sacar conclusiones Vocabulario: claves de contexto Fonética: sonidos de la u y la u_e como en cut y cube Ortografía: palabras con u

MO ÒTOGRAF

MO POU KONNEN

M ap li The Tiny Seed nan klas semèn sa a. Mwen te aprann ki jan pou m tire konklizyon. Sa pa vle di mwen desine foto yon konklizyon ! Sa vle di mwen jwenn kèk fè. Ansuit, mwen mete yo ansanm pou m ka rive jwenn yon enfòmasyon ekriven an pa eksprime avèk mo. Nan istwa sa a ti semans lan ap vwayaje danje aprè danje. Mwen konnen semans lan ka piti, men li gen fòs tou. Lè m tire konklizyon sa fè m santi m tankou yon lektè detektif !

Teknik pou semèn sa a Konpreyansyon : tire konklizyon Vokabilè : endis nan kontèks la Fonik : son u ak u_e tankou nan cut ak cube Òtograf : mo ki gen u
