What Are We Learning?
Language Arts / Reading:
Next week's spelling rule: Using "silent e" to make the long /a/ sound.
**The spelling rules each week will start to become increasingly more difficult. Please remember to help your child at home each week. Thank you!!
In writing we are setting personal writing goals to help show our success in writing. We are doing great with topic sentences, closing sentences and transition words in the middle to help move our writing along.
During reader's workshop are are building good habits by scooping up phrases instead of individual words, setting reading goals, and smoothing out our voices when reading. Don't forget to use your reading strategies when you get stuck on a word!
