Language Arts- Cooperation is key!
This week's story focused on the essential question, Why is working together a good way to solve a problem? We read the stories, "Anansi Learns a Lesson", "Roadrunner's Dance", and "Deltona Is Going Batty". The stories were Folktales so we discussed how folktales have a theme and teach a lesson. We focused on the following...
-Strategy:Make, Confirm, and Revise Predictions
-Skill:Theme
-Phonics: long i and long u
-Plural words with the words ending in a consonant and the letter y
-Kinds of nouns
-building vocabulary
In writing we are working on a Halloween piece. Ask your child about their topic.
