Unit 3, Week 1- January 6, 2014
Welcome back, and Happy New Year!
I hope you had a relaxing holiday, and excited for the new year ahead. I love
this time of year at school, we are well into our routines and I find the most
academic growth happens in the next four months. This week we are reading “The
Stranger”, “Jumanji”, and “The Wreck of the Zephyr” by Chris Van Allsburg, who
also happens to be one of my favorite authors! This week’s spelling words are fourth grade sight words, which are
words that fourth graders are expected to be able to read and spell with 100%
accuracy, though they are typically misspelled by many. Please practice
these words at home as well. Let’s have a great week!
