Reading
- In Readers Workshop this week, we will be working on another project focusing on story elements! As a class we will read the book Stone Soup.
- We will then create a booklet with different pages focusing on character, problem, and solution. We will also have a beginning, middle, and end page that we will use for retelling practice next week!
- Our independent level comprehension grade is this Tuesday. Please send the book back with your child in their binder so they can use it during the grade.
- Our final high frequency grade for this grading period will be this Thursday. Students need to be able to read all the sight words from this grading period.
Writing
- In Writers Workshop, we will continue looking at more mentor texts to help us with our own writing.
- We will work on adding details to our small moment stories and looking closely at different 'author crafts' we find in our read alouds to add in our own writing.
Conventions and Grammar: This week, we will be reviewing the three verb tenses we have learned:past, present, and future tense verbs. We will have a grade over all verbs this Wednesday.
Word Study
- This week, we will be learning and working with the -ea word family (ex: eat). We will be discussing the "vowel pair" rule: "When two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking."

- You will see a GREEN WORD STUDY BOOKLET in the back of your child's binder. Just a reminder that this booklet stays in their binder. It should never stay at home. ALSO, your child should NOT work ahead on this booklet at home. We will work through it together at school, and then they can use it as a study tool at home. Please make sure they DO NOT work ahead in it at home. Thank you for your help with this!
