Reading This week in reading, we will continue with the selection entitled, Young Thomas Edison. As we read this unique biography in class, we will look for information on why Thomas Edison was important, his life events in time order, and opinions based on facts. Our target skill of the week will again focus on main idea and details. The students will explain how details are used to support the main idea of a paragraph or story. Lastly, we will continue to focus on the vowel sound heard in talk. This will include the letters au, aw, al, and o. The students will have their test over this reading selection early next week.
Spelling The students will have their test over Lesson 10 on early next week. Please continue to study these words throughout the week.
