January 20th - 24th

What We're Working On:


Language Arts:

This week in Writer's Workshop we will work on adding "more" to our writing!
We are focusing on using our checklist to remember capital letters, spaces, and periods.

In Reader's Workshop we will work on reading fluency!  You can help with this at home too by
reading familiar books over and over again! Book bag books help with building fluency too!
Don't be afraid to read your book bag books lots of times over the course of the week! 

In Phonics Workshop we are reviewing our single letter phonograms, adding the
"H Brother" phonograms (sh, th, ch, and wh) and hearing and recording sounds!
We will learn two more new SNAP Words:
"get" and "for."

Book Bags are coming home again on Tuesday 1/21!  Yay!
Please read with your child at home and return books to school on Friday!
Keep up the great work!
