Question of the Day
• What are some examples of situations in
which you might prefer to have either coins
or paper money?
Phonics Objectives:
 Associate vowel digraphs ee, ea, ai, ay,
oa, and ow with the long vowel sounds
they stand for.
 Review words with endings -ed, -ing, -er,
and -est.
 Blend and read words with long vowel
digraphs and words with the endings -ed,
-ing, -er, and -est.
 Apply decoding strategies: blend longer
words.
seal, tree, wait, stray, goat, slow
 What vowel sound do you hear in
seal?
 How many vowels do you see in
seal?
 What vowel sounds do you hear
in wait and goat?
 How many vowels do you see in
each word?
MODEL
When I see two vowels in a row, I try saying
the long vowel sound of the first vowel. I
don't say the second vowel at all. I just need
to remember two tricky letters. Both y and
w can be consonants or vowels. When they
come at the end of a word or syllable, they
are vowels, so ay and ow are both vowel
pairs.
Blend these words
Remember the letter q is almost always followed by u and
stands for /kw/. For example, quit looks like it has two
vowels together, however, it does not have a long vowel
digraph.
DECODE LONGER WORDS
Write these words, read them, and underline
the vowel digraphs.

READ WORDS IN CONTEXT
• When the boat's motor broke, we had to
row it.
• Ellen is not afraid to swim in the bay.
• Dean, don't ride the bike in the street.
Vocabulary Strategy - Context Clues
• Objectives: Use context clues to determine
the meaning of multiple-meaning words.
• Sometimes during reading, you may come across a word
whose meaning doesn’t make sense. The word might
have another meaning. For example, band means “a
musical group.” But it also means “a strip of material.”
The words around the unknown word may help you
figure out another meaning.
1. If you come to a word that doesn't make sense, think
about another meaning.
2. Look at nearby words or sentences.Can you figure out
another meaning?
3. Try the new meaning in the sentence. Does it make
sense?
Let’s Read Money

• As you read “Money,” look for words that can
have more than one meaning. Look at the nearby
words to figure out the meaning that makes sense.

Economics: Costs and Benefits
People need to make wise choices about how to
spend their money. They need to weigh the cost of
something against the benefits of having it. Cost is how much
a person pays for something either in money, time, effort, or
the like. Benefits are things that help people or are good for
them. For example, imagine you had to choose between
spending a dollar for twenty balloons or putting a dollar in
the bank to collect interest. At first, it may seem that it is
better to buy the balloons. The balloons will make you happy
right away. But over a period of time, your dollar will be
worth more as you earn interest. So, even though you do not
have the benefit of spending the money right away, you will
have even more money to spend in the future.

how I chunk the money combinations. You
will practice as a class doing three choral
