May 14 – May 18
Please study your spelling and reading words each week.
This week in class:
Spelling/Phonics - We are learning about “y” and “ie” making the long e sound
in words. This week's spelling words include funny, happy, story, stories,
hurry, hurried, how, out, baby, and done. Please note that the new list
includes some words from last week. This week's spelling test will include
spelling words from all of our word lists to date. It is important to
remember that spelling is cumulative.
Please practice spelling, reading and writing these words every night.
There will be a spelling test on Friday.
Reading - This week's high frequency words are able, almost, blue, great,
poured, took, and traveled. Students need to be able to read these words. At
this time, they are not required to spell them.

read these words. They need to be able to tell what they mean.
