It's hard to believe, December is already here!
This week we are reading the story "Two Days In May". It is a story about deer that have made their way into a garden in the city. Please be looking for newspaper or articles about animals in the city and send them in with your child.
In math, we will be starting a unit on place value and decimals. A good math website to practice place value is http://www.mhschool.com/math/mathtoolchest/mtc_online/
Our spelling skill focus this week is homophones. Words that sound the same, but have different meanings. You will notice there are several words that have homophones like there / their, fair/fare, tail/tale, and horse/hoarse. This week's spelling paragraph is:
The Tale of The Fair Maiden
Once upon a time, there was a fair maiden named Ms. Brewer. She rode by herself across the kingdom on a fine horse named Alex. Everything seemed peaceful. Instantly, a cluster of children appeared out of nowhere and turned Ms. Brewer into a croaking toad. Unaware she was beneath his hoof, Alex squashed the croaking maiden ending the tale of this fair lady.
The End
