September 12th-23rd
READING:We are starting to read the story "My Family". It is a story about a little girl and her family. We are working on vocabulary, comprehension, compare and contrasting and questioning to clarify information. We will be working with Venn diagrams. In grammar, we are working on writing complete sentences. We will be writing friendly letters too!
WRITING:
We will be working on personal narratives in writing and adding details to all of our writing. We continue to work on writing creative stories. We are starting to be creative in our SQUIGGLE stories each week. This is where the students receive a squiggle mark, then have to draw something using the squiggle and then write about it! We are creating some awesome writing in our journals and we are exciting to do so many writing projects! We continue to work on writing Weekend Reports every Monday. We are focusing on writing a complete sentence with a capital letter, a complete thought, and an endmark. We are also learning to use graphic organizers to help with our prewrites. With every sentence we write, we try to think of one good detail sentence to add to our stories.
