Spelling words for week of Nov. 4-8

Dear parents,

Our spelling words for next week are: picnic, poured, grapes, burned, pile, logs, ants, fire, hamburger, lemonade, sparrow, blanket, creek, awful, bananas, napkins. Our bonus words are flies and generous.  All these words will be used to write a story about a picnic. 

Our theme reading next week begins our unit on imaginary characters. We will be reading about Paul Bunyan, an imaginary character in a tall tale. Our words are: campfire, ability, orchard, storyteller, wilderness, adventures, imaginary, beginnings, tale, and legends. Please go over the meaning of these words with your child. 

Next week, we will be working on building bridges and skyscrapers in Science. Please have your child bring in stacks of paper to assist with these projects. If you have extra masking tape at home that you can donate to the class, that would be very helpful. 

Next Friday, is Subway Day! 

Best wishes,

Mrs. Gerri Karr and Miss Gardiner
