This Week in 4B

We are going to study synonyms and antonyms. The students will receive antonym flashcards on Sunday so they can spend the week practicing.

We are going to continue our reading work. The group working in book 1.5 will continue the "Lost" story about a boy who finds a lost bear. This is a very long story. We started it last week. When we finish that story we will move on to "Baby Otter Grows Up"

To understand "Baby Otter Grows Up" you should know the words from the cards I sent home two weeks ago. Study sink and float carefully.

The group working on 2.1 will continue with Poppleton and then move into "The Green Leaf News"

Next week we will get back to working in our Spin books a little bit.

The words for this week are all opposite pairs

fat/thin
rich/poor
ugly/beautiful
slow/fast
nice/mean
violent/peaceful
crazy/sane
big/small

Many of these words are ones we have studied before so they should not be that difficult.

We are also going to study new groups of opposites that are not going to be on the spelling test. They are:

dangerous/safe
healthy/sick
heavy/light
