Night Letters
QUESTION OF THE DAY
• Who has Lily received night letters from so
far?
Spellings of /j/, /k/, /s/
• Pour one ounce of cider into every glass.
• Which letters stand for /s/?
• What letters come after c in ounce and
cider?
• George is the pilot of the large jet.
• Which letters stand for /j/?
• Can Ken lock the door?
• Which letters stand for /k/?
• When I say the sentence The table has a
chrome edge, I hear /k/ in chrome and /j/
in edge.
• But when I read it, I don’t see k or j. The
ch must stand for /k/, and dge must
stand for /j/.

letters that stand for the sounds.
• The cat paced back and forth behind
the fence.
• She had a smudge of chocolate on her
face.
• We baked gingerbread cookies.
• Word Structure
• Sometimes you may come
across a long word when you are reading.
Look closely at the word. If you see two smaller
words, then the word probably is a compound
word. You may be able to use the two smaller
words to help you figure out the meaning of the
compound word. For example, sunshine is light
that shines from the sun.
• 1. Divide the compound word into its two
small words.
• 2. Think of the meaning of each small
word. Put the two meanings together.
Does this help you understand the
meaning of the compound word?
• 3. Try the meaning in the sentence. Does
it make sense?
• Let’s read “Interested in Insects.” Use the
meanings of the smaller words in a
compound word to help you understand its
meaning.
• I know that a fire is very hot and
glowing. I know that flies are insects.
So fireflies are insects that glow in the
dark.

Day 2
•
Lardge moths flies around the porch at
night.
•
They look a litle like butterflys.
• The subject and the verb in a
sentence must work together.
When the subject
and verb work together, they
agree.
To make most present tense verbs agree
with singular subjects or he, she, or it,
add -s. If the subject is a plural noun or I,
you, we, or they, the present tense verb
does not end in -s.
Night Letters
Writing
Day 2
• Tomorrow we will write a friendly letter.
• I could write a letter to my friend Sam
about my plan to start a recycling club.
How should I organize the details? I could
list all the steps it will take to start the club,
such as researching the recycling our town
does and posting flyers for my club. I
would organize the steps in the order they
should be done so my plan makes sense.
