Block 1-2 Book B NEWS

Our classes are halfway through the Language Program. We now enter Book B. During this quarter, our students will continue to develop oral fluency through timed words per minute drills. Grammar and spelling will concentrate on suffixes, conjunctions, using past progressive verbs, expanding compound sentences, diagramming them, and working with both beginning and endings of words with diagraphs and trigraph sounds. Word relationships will be explored using antonyms, synonyms, homophones, and attributes.

Story themes for this quarter include:

Unit 7- "Spin a Web"

Unit 8- "Sing a Song"

Unit 9- "Bug Us"

Comprehension skills will focus on comparing fiction and opinion articles, biography reading; facts and details; choosing essential versus non-essential facts and details; multiple meaning, context clues and vocabulary development.

BLOCK 3-4 and BLOCK 5-6 BOOK D

During this quarter, vocabulary will be stressed as we continue to focus on prefixes and suffixes and context clues. Signal words and multiple meaning words are explored as s students also will continue to build grammar skills. Linking verbs, irregular verbs tenses, adjectives, and word roots will be examined to help to uncover unfamiliar word meanings.

Story themes for this quarter are:

Unit 19-"Go With Speed"

Unit 20- "Play On"

Unit 21- "Join the Family"

Comprehension skills will be developed through understanding literary devices and terms. Plot, conflict, story organization, and author purposes will be explored to build student knowledge.
