Week of May 6 to 10
Reading/Language Arts: We are starting unit 6. Our stories deal with money and how it circulates. We will work with vocabulary, phonics and spelling with open and closed syllables. Remember that words can be divided into syllables. A syllable must always have a vowel. Clap the two syllables in exit: ex (clap) it (clap). Draw a line between the syllables and underline the first syllable, ex. When a syllable ends in a consonant, its vowel sound is usually short. Clap the two syllables in tiger: ti - ger. Draw a line between the syllables and underline the first syllable, ti. When a syllable ends in a vowel, its vowel sound is usually long. clap the syllables again: ti - ger.
