For the Week of April 7th

Chess Club

Both chess clubs are meeting this week. We have been working on checkmating with different pieces. During the last chess club we saw an example of how to checkmate with a bishop, a knight and the king.

Phonics

Helping students figure out syllables in words is a good way to teach them to read longer words. Scooping the syllables underneath the word is a quick, easy way to help students visualize the syllables. This also helps the student's spelling as students learn to listen for the syllables in words and spell the word syllable by syllable.
