MONDAY May 18th - E-LEARNING  READING - email Character Traits: Action and Dialogue activity click the link below for the lesson done interactively with your child- slides 1-5 

Chicks and Salsa Interactive Lesson with Mrs. Balash and Miss Murphy 

Today we will be introducing our book of the week, Chicks and Salsa   

Begin with our vocabulary slideshow. Students will listen for the words in the story and see how they are used in the story. Next, introduce the vocabulary word. Today’s word is perch. Talk with someone at an animal that perches. 

  

When we listen to the story today we want to think about character traits. This is something the students will be familiar with, we are looking at the character’s personality and describing them based on their words and actions! They should recall doing this in books like Make Way for Ducklings and Farfallina and Marcel! 

 Students will listen to the story read by Ms. Murphy here: Chicks and Salsa Read Aloud      

 

Today we are going to look at character traits by studying actions and dialogue from the story. First, pick a character trait of the rooster. After you picked a trait or a word to describe the rooster, find an example from the story that supports your answer. This can be something the rooster said or something the 

rooster did. Students can print the page from the bottom or write and draw on a paper

   PHONICS - completed work due by Friday Our new phonics skill will be working with the long -e- sound! We will look at the vowel patterns /ee/ and /ea/ within a word.   Spelling City assignments were assigned and students can complete within 2 weeks. I-ready has a long e phonics activity assigned that should also be completed   Below is a PDF of ee/ea word work students can complete. They only need to do 4 activities in the two weeks. When they are completed, they can be emailed with the work for the day. Students can choose the activities they like and are welcome to do more than 4, but do not need to. Our goal was that if you do not have a printer, many of these activities can be completed on a sheet of paper!
