In Literacy: This week in literacy we will finish up our fairy tale unit! We will read some more fractured fairy tales including Cindy Ellen, Princess Pigtoria and the Pea, and Prince Cinders. We will also read the poem, Three Little Pigs, and talk about the figures of speech used and find words with double vowels. In writing, students will continue to work on finalizing their Small Moments piece that they picked to be published. After writing it again in their best handwriting, students will illustrate their story and create a cover.
Reading Log: Please read at least 15 minutes every night. (Part of this time should be used on your child’s sight word ring.) Make sure your child records their reading on their reading log. This will be checked at the end of the month.
