Students have to check their work for capitals and punctuation in the right places.  They also have to check for spelling of their "No Excuse" sight words. Later this week we will post in IRIS a sample of their work with their editing checklist. Here are the words for this week that students should be able to read and write. Students are practicing using their words in a sentence as well. Red Group:  love, do, saw, you, away Blue Group: table, apple, one, were, are Purple Group: slow, know, eat, treat wheat

  Reminders: Jan. 20th:  Library Day Jan. 27th:  Spirit Day - Dress like your favourite book character  Remember to dress for the weather.  We go outside every day for recess, lunch recess and gym. In ELA this week we were learning about editing.  We are using the "Find it, Fix it," strategy. We created symbols to mark on our pages where we need to fix capitals, punctuation, and spelling. Then we practiced "finding and fixing" with our writing we did last week, making sure we "fix it" using a coloured pencil so that we can show how we are improving with our editing.  This week we also started planning for writing about a personal experience we have had.  Next week will begin writing and learning about how to add descriptive words to make it more interesting.    We learned our last three graphemes this week.  "ci" "si", and "ough",  make sure to ask me what sounds these graphemes make!  If you need a reminder or want to practic
