Unit 2: Smart Solutions                          

Week 4                                                                                                   

                                                        

This week we are reading “Tops and Bottoms adapted and illustrated by Janet Stevens.  We will focus on some vocabulary words in this story.  It would be helpful if you will reinforce the meaning of these words at home with your child.  Also, on this newsletter you will find our spelling words for the week.  Please practice these words at home as well.  Students are expected to practice the first 15, 20, or all 25 of the words.   Be sure to refer to the spelling rule described below.  Please listen to your child read the spelling words aloud. 

Vocabulary Words:  lazy, bottom, crops, clever, cheated, partners, wealth
