Alphabetizing, AM II/III and PM
Looking for definitions, PM II
As we’ll be looking at the American Flag this week, I have
provided a reading comprehension worksheet for the children to do for tonight’s
homework. For today’s class assignment,
AM I worked with Ms. Florence in capitalization and punctuation. So far,
they’re getting it, but there is still some work to be done. Please continue to
discuss with your children that no matter what, the FIRST letter at the
beginning of a sentence will always be a capital/uppercase letter, and at the
end, a punctuation. For AM II/III I have briefly explained to them that titles
are uppercase and there is never a period at the end; for the PM I told them
that there are some titles that do have other punctuation marks such as the “?”
or “!”, but never a period, “.”
Both classes in AM II/III and PM have worked on
alphabetizing their list of words. PM II worked on looking for words in the
dictionary. At this point, I feel that it is important that your household owns
a dictionary. I know that the internet is the quickest way to look up words,
but it is beneficial for the kids to attain knowledge in learning how to use a
dictionary just in case they do not have access to a computer.
For both classes the children will continue to work on extra
workbooks they have owned ever since coming from Ms. Monet’s class. It’s okay to take them home daily; they will
continue to work on them in class as well, so please be sure that they do bring
them into school.
One thing I want to keep teaching is handwriting skills. Although the children are writing in wide-ruled tablets/composition notebooks, they still have to keep in mind that neatness counts. Once in a while they will practice handwriting skills on manuscript paper even if it's included in an in-class assignment (such as geography).
