Wish List
Ms. Glidewell’s Class
March 5th-
March 10th2018
Dear Parents,
This week in Reader’s Workshop, we will read,
“Bear Snores On” To increase reading
comprehension we will look at these TEKS:
Monitor Comprehension: Visualize (A good way
to understand the words in a book is to picture
in your mind what is being described.)
Distinguish between Fantasy and Reality (Some
stories are fantasy or make –believe, and cannot
really happen. Informational Text: Expository
(text that explains or gives information; often
contains photographs
This week in Writer’s Workshop, we are
continuing our cause and effect unit. In Math,
we are working on measurement. In Social
Studies, we will be learning about Texas
Symbols. We will also be learning about Ireland
and St. Patrick’s Day and spring break.

Major Assessments the third nine weeks:
 Writing first and last name
 Spelling CVC words (we will have a spelling test)
 Decode (read) CVC words
 Retell beginning, middle and end of a story
 Making a connection to a story
 Rhyme
 Read 22-28 sight words for a grade of “2”
 Compare fiction/Non Fiction books
 Write a letter to someone
 Make an invitation
 Identify story setting, characters,
problem, solution
 Write using simple sentences, some
capitalization and punctuation and form letters
correctly, and use spacing between words
 Recognizing numerals to 20
 Rote count backwards from 20
 Skip count to 100
 Identify Coins
 Identify three-dimensional solids
 Compare/contrast using math vocabulary
 Generate a number that is one more than or one
less than a number up to 20
Ways you can support your child’s learning at home:
 Have your child read to someone each night for 10-15 min.
 Have your child practice writing simple sentences paying
attention to using spacing between words, capitalization and
punctuation
 Play a word wall word game (ideas on the back of the list sent at
BTS night)
 Help your child sound out words and write about a topic of
interest using details in a story and drawing pictures to go with
the words.
To pass the word wall assessment this nine weeks your child
must read 26 words and this would earn a grade of “2” on the
report card
List of word wall words for the year:
I, the, we, like, a, see, go, to, have, is, play, are, for, this, do,
and, what, you ,little, said, here, was, she, he, has ,look, with, my,
boy, girl, yes, no ,if, mom, dad, love, or, but, went, get, had, want,
not, on, us, that, him, her, they, could, some, one, two, three
,four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, red, yellow, blue ,green,
orange, purple, black, white, brown.
Fluency develops as a result of many opportunities to practice reading with a
high degree of success. Therefore, your child should practice rereading
aloud texts that are reasonably easy for them – that is, texts containing
mostly words that they know or can decode easily. In other words, the texts
should be at the child’s independent reading level.
