This Week in Room 8 (11/27 to 12/1)

MAP Testing
We will begin our MAP testing next week. We will be testing Tuesday, December 5th - Friday, December 8th. Please make sure your child has a good night's sleep, a good breakfast, and working headphones. 

ELA

This week we are working on identifying and explaining the purpose of different non-fiction text features. We know that informational text/non-fiction text gives information and does not tell a story. Some of the text features we are learning more about are on this list from Wilkes-Barre Area School District's website- please click the link below:


We are also learning about how -ed endings show that the verb is past tense. We are understanding the different sounds -ed can make, even though we spell all of the past tense verbs with -ed. We are also learning when to double the consonant before adding the -ed ending (when there is one vowel and one consonant following the vowel in the base word).

Sight Words

  • right
  • their
  • call
  • sleep
