Reading: In reading we will continue to learn strategies to solve hard words.  We will double check our reading by asking does it look right? Does it sound right? We will encourage students to not give up when the word gets hard. Another strategy that we will introduce is trying it two ways with a vowel.  It is so important for them to realize that vowels make two sounds-long and short.

Writing: This week in writing we and continuing to write our small moment stories. Student’s have created a checklist that we will use to make sure our writing is ready to share. We will also work on bringing our characters to life. We will have them take itsy-bitsy steps and have characters think and feel.
