Reading - This week's high frequency words are day, eat, first, said, time, 
and was.  Students need to be able to read these words.  At this time, they 
are not required to spell them.

This week's robust vocabulary is below.  Students do not need to know how to 
read these words.  They need to be able to tell what they mean.

chorus – A chorus is a group singing or saying something together.
odor – If something has an odor, you can tell what it is by the way it smells.
shoved – If you shoved someone or something, you would push hard against that 
person or thing.
assemble – If you assemble something, you put all of its pieces together.
consume – If you consume something, you completely use it up.
enthusiastic – If you are enthusiastic about something, you really like it 
and are excited about it.

Students will be working on comparing and contrasting.  We will discuss who 
the animals in this week’s reading selection are alike and different

Practice reading the story "Little Red Hen Gets Help" in your black reading 
notebook.  
There is a reading test on Friday.

sentence starts with a capital and ends with an exclamation mark.  It shows

sentences we have learned (telling, asking and exclamation).
