Reading: This week we will read "Two Bad Ants."
There will be a test this Friday May 29th.
This test will include the vocabulary words,
and students will write a few sentences about
what happened in the beginning,middle,and end
of the story. There will not be any specific
fact or skill questions related to the story.
Example of vocabulary:

Please have your child read the story at
least twice a week,even if you spread it
over four days. This will help your child
with word recognition,comprehension,and
fluency. Even if you alternate reading pages
with him/her it will be a BIG help towards
improving reading skills.
