Today we reviewed how to include the theme of a story in the summary. Some parents may have heard the summary: One day at the park, Beth and her friends made instruments to play in a band. The theme of the story is having fun. So then, the summary with the theme included would be: Beth and her friends had fun one day at the park making instruments and playing in a band. This corresponds to our theme of the week which is: having fun with neighbors.
You should find our second stanza for the vowel poem in your child's folder which is actually the third stanza for the poem about the vowel 'i' (we will come back and learn the stanza for 'e' later). We concentrated on two spellings for 'i' today: Open syllable 'i' (pilot, spider) and 'i_e' (pile, spice).
Today we also had a "timed" math test with subtraction facts. Two students got 100%. Many of the mistakes were due to students inadvertently adding instead of spelling.
