Burleson Elementary School “ 100 Years of Excellence” Aug. 29 -Sept. 4, 2016 CLASSROOM STUDIES READING: Kumak’s Fish -Comprehension Skills: Sequence and Visualize -Vocabulary Words: gear, parka, splendid, twitch, willow, yanked -Phonics: Base words and Endings – ed, -ing, -er, -est MATH: Chapter 1 -Addition and Subtraction within 1, 000 LANGUAGE: Declarative and Interrogative Sentences WRITING: Class Mission Statement/ Individual Goals SCIENCE: Heredity and Diversity SOCIAL STUDIES: Maps READING HELP On our Reading test, the questions are not word for word from the text being read. It takes the students re-reading and inferring about what the author has asked to answer each question successfully. For example, “What conclusion can you draw from paragraph…. . ? ” (depending on the skill of the week, questions may be similar or slightly different). Students can take home their reading book, workbook(this has skills, phonics, vocab. , and language pages) and reading fluency(the questions on the back, especially the last one, make the students infer about the text, like our test). We hope this helps!!!!!
