Reading
- We are starting a new unit in Readers Workshop this week-Fairy Tales! We will be focusing on elements of most fairy tales: Once upon a time, happily ever after, good vs. evil, and magic/enchantments
- We will be reading different versions of Cinderella and looking for the fairy tale elements in other fairy tales as well.
Language Arts
- As we are learning about Fairy Tales in reading, we will use that knowledge to write our own fairy tales in Writers Workshop.
Word Study
- This week, we will be learning and working with the -ay word family (ex: day). We will continue 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!
