Love is in the air

It was a busy week! We are working on assessments and getting ready for conferences. Please check your child's Friday Folder for your time. If this time does not work, let me know as soon as possible so we can make a change.

Our new writing unit is non-fiction. The kids are so excited to share facts about things they are experts on. We are reading non-fiction books and writing our own too. The goal by the end of this unit is to be able to write an opening sentence introducing the topic, three different facts and a closing sentence. This is a big jump from where we are now. We will keep working hard to use letters and sounds to write sentences. We will refine our skills with word spaces and punctuation as well.

Weekly Objectives:

Reading: non-fiction text features, retelling facts, rhyming, hearing onset and rhyme, beginning sounds

Writing: Telling five facts about a topic, staying focused on one topic.

Math: equals symbol, addition symbol, comparing quantities

Fundations: segmenting and blending sounds, hearing sounds and blending them together, fluency with letters and sounds
