We have had a great week - we hope you have too! We love November!

• Bible - We will continue our study of David. This week our story will come from 1st Chronicles 15 and 16.

• Reading - We will have a story called “Click Clack Moo, Cows that Type.” We will begin working on the skill “Main Idea.”
• Spelling - Our skill this week will be adding the suffix -ing. One rule for adding ing is that you add ing to one-syllable words with one vowel and two consonants after the vowel. Here are some examples: jumping   standing   fishing  planting
• A second rule for adding -ing is that when you add  -ing to one-syllable words with one vowel and one consonant after the vowel, you need to double the consonant before adding ing. Here are some examples: running   cutting   swimming   winning
• THERE IS AN EXCEPTION! NEVER DOUBLE THE FINAL LETTERS W, X, AND Y: Here are some examples:  box….boxing    snow….snowing   play….playing

1. John walked to school yesterday.
2. John is walking to school today.
