Mrs. Pellin's Post
November 3rd to November 7th

This week my first grade students will learn about the consonant sounds "Y" and "V". We will be reciting a poem about violets in a vase from "me to you." The children will sort picture cards to match them to the beginning sounds of "V" and "Y" . We will also learn the short "E" sound by reading about Ed the Elephant. The elephant on the right is eight days old.



The second grade students will continue to work on guided reading and write summaries in their journals about the stories we are reading. We will work on the differences between fantasy and realism. For example, realism is "After school Tom walked home." Fantasy is "After school Tom flew in a rocket to his house on the moon." We will also play spelling games from their weekly spelling lists. The students will make words using magnetic letters.



Center Cass School District # 66 is in the process of implementing an Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) mandate, Response of Intervention (RTI). RTI is an array of procedures that can be used to determine if and how students respond to specific changes in instruction. RTI provides an improved process and instruction for school teams in designing, implementing, and educational interventions.
