Week 14 grades 2-3 Kräpplaskolan

Today in class students will work on developing their reading skills and spelling abilities.

What are we going to do?

Today in class we will work on the following activities:

1.  Introductions.  I will introduce myself to the students and then I will ask the students to introduce themselves to me.

2. Write about yourself worksheet.  Students will get a simple worksheet to fill out where they answer some questions about themselves.

3. Spelling words.  Students will get a worksheet with some spelling words on it.  It is important for students to practice the spelling of these words at home as well as in class.

4. Read a non-fiction text.  We will work with fact-based texts this week, and in class we will read about animals and focus on a bird called the swallow.  After reading the text, students will have to answer some reading comprehension questions.  We will also spend some time discussing 

5. Story time.  At the end of the lesson, we will read a book called "The Cat in the Hat" by Dr. Seuss.  

Why are we going to do it? 

It is important for continue to develop their skills i reading, writing, and spelling and these are also parts of the course goals that we are required to cover.  For this week, I have decided to work with non-fiction text types. In grade levels 1-3 the course plan places a focus on teaching spelling rules to students, and for this reason I usually assign weekly spelling words for students to learn. 

How are we going to do the activities?

For the write about yourself, the non-fiction text, and the spelling activity worksheets will be provided.  For story time, I will read the text, and the students will listen.

Homework: At home students will need to complete the circle the correct spelling and the fill in the blank spelling worksheet.  Please make sure students review the spelling words on the worksheet at home.
