 This week in Literacy, we will...

  • Blend sounds to produce words with l-blends.
  • Read irregularly spelled words (many, thing, you, these).
  • Identify the elements of a sentence.
  • Identify and understand the use of possessives. 
  • Read a book titled, Jumping Into Fall Leaves, by Winnie Tucker. While reading, we will discuss when characters change or learn a lesson and use illustrations to support comprehension.

This week in Math, we will...
