Reading
- We are starting a new reading unit this week, Nonfiction!! We will start by discussing what a nonfiction book is and how it is different than a fiction book.
- We will build tools to become "Super Smart about Nonfiction Books". We will begin by learning how to take a 'sneak peek' at a book before we begin reading to activate our schema, or what we already know about the topic.
- Then we will practice stopping after a few pages to check and discuss what new information we have just read about.

Writing
- We will also be starting nonfiction writing in Writer's Workshop! We will start by brainstorming some topics that we could write/teach all about.
- Then we will review how to plan out our writing: plan across your fingers, sketch, and write.
Phonics
- This week we will wrap up our study of the silent -e. We will use everything we have learned to investigate words.
