Our Week at a View:

Reading:

This week we will be using inferring and context clues to figure out the meanings of words found in non-fiction and fiction texts. Individually students will be looking for tough words in their books to practice this skill.

 

Writing:

For the next week we will be working on adding details to our writing.  We will be describing and explaining the physical characteristics of an object and also describing the setting.  Feel free to encourage your child to use more descriptive words we sharing their day with you.

Our personal goals this week are:

I will use uppercase and lowercase letters correctly.

I will place a period, or correct punctuation at the end of my sentences.

I will make sure to have space between my words.

I will stretch words and write more sounds.

I will add more details to my stories.
