Reading
- This week in Reader's Workshop, we will continue learning good habits for solving tricky words in our books.
- We will introduce three new reading buddies this week: Chunky Monkey, Skippy Frog, and Flippy Dolphin. We will continue practicing good reading habits when we get stuck on a hard word.
- Vowels are a very important part of solving words. We will learn that vowels have 2 sounds (long and short) and to try each sound if we get stuck on a word.
- ***On Friday, your child brought home their yellow reading homework. This doubles as a review for their test on September 25th. Please go over the content on the review with your child!***
Writing
- We will begin the week studying authors and different 'craft moves' they do in their writing. We will talk about ellipses, pop out words, and exact action words. Students will try to add these craft moves in their own writing!
- ***The snap word writing assessment is this Thursday, September 19th. Please practice spelling the starred words with your child.***
Phonics
- This week, we will continue recognizing and using snap words as readers and as writers. We will also learn how to turn new words into snap words!
