Week of November 1

We'll be using our fluency skills, that we practiced last week, to read books to the lower elementary kids this week.  We've learned several ways to increase our fluency: pace, emotion, punctuation, phrasing, and rereading.

This week we'll be using our spelling time to work on homophones, homonyms, and homographs.

The specific words that we'll be studying are:
accept, except, to, two, too, they're, their, there, were, we're, no, know, allowed, aloud, aisle, isle, I'll,
patients, patience, who's, whose, your, you're, clothes, close, weather, and whether

We'll continue studying the Mae Jemison vocabulary words, with a test on Thursday.

In reading, we'll be reading Mae Jemison, Space Scientist, with the RC quiz over it on Thursday.  The skill this week and next is Main idea and details.

In grammar, we'll continue our search through verbs.  Our quiz will be Friday over verb tenses, action vs. being verbs, and main and helping verbs.

RC quiz #4 is due tomorrow!
