MUR - This week we will be reading the story "The Gold Coin". We will really be working on retelling the story this week, which is getting a lot better. We will also work on comparing characters within the story. Along with the story we will work out of our Wordly Wise books which focus on vocabulary and also out of our Analytical Grammar books where we have already started working with nouns, proper nouns, adjectives, articles, and pronouns, and prepositions.
Spelling homework is due Friday.
This week's spelling words are homographs. these are words that are spelled the same but have different pronunciations.
