Reading:
Our story for the week is The Dinosaur Who Lived in My Backyard. It is a fictitious tale. Ask your child the difference between expository and fiction...they should be able to tell you!! We will be testing for this week’s story on Friday. Our 4 vocabulary words for this story are:
hatched, neighborhood, swamp, rescue
Spelling:
Our test will be on Friday this week. This week’s words highlight words with the /ch/ sound from our chipmunk card spelled “ch” and “tch”, and words with the /th/ sound. The additional 5 challenge words are difficult, so students will need to study!!Our 15 spelling words for the week are:
chick, choke, thick peach, teach, thin, there, they, hatched, mother, dinosaur, vegetables, backyard, rescue, swamp
Our spelling scores continue to be strong, so keep up the great job, Trailblazers!!

Teacher’s Corner:
Dear Parents/Guardians,
We are continuing with our unit on Fossils. There were several students who brought some amazing artifacts and items to share last Friday. We will again share our fossil-related items on Fridays, so they are welcome to bring them on that day. Students may also bring newspaper clippings, pictures, and stories about fossils for our Concept/Question Board.
Feel free to contact me with regard to any questions or concerns you may have.
