Mrs. Jackman's Class

I apologize for this being SUPER late.  I got my camera today...but our internet has been out.  Of course that happens right when you need it.  Oh well...I am getting it on here and that is all that matters!  Last week was a great week for us.  They learned SO much and it really showed when they "showed me what they know" (took tests) on Friday.  They have really been learning a lot of new stuff and I can tell that they are really enjoying learning things they didn't already know.  This week we were focusing on digraphs sh, th, ch, and wh.  To start the week out, we learned about the "H brothers".  The story really stuck with the kids and helped them read words they thought they didn't know.  But surprise!  They know a lot more words than they thought!

Here is the story of the "H brothers"

 We also made "Thinking Thumbs" to help us remember the "TH" sound.

We have been working on comparing and contrasting all year, but they finally got to make their own venn diagram.  They did a great job for their first time!  I paired them up and let them compare and contrast 2 things from a story we read called Moving Day.

We worked hard last week, and I am ready to work hard again this week!  We are learning some really tough stuff, and only in 4 days since it is a short week.  Keep working hard at home and practicing reading and spelling.  Please remember to go over the Skills Sheet EVERY day.  It has everything that we are going over that week and it is especially important to do it every day, even the weekends, during a 4 day week.  It WILL help!  I promise!  Thank you parents for ALL that you do!  I couldn't do it without you!
