Literacy
Our book for the week is “Penny Tree” and the sight word is “some”. Please have your child practice reading and writing their sight words at home. We will finish our study of the human body and talk about all of the things our moms do to help us and take care of us each day.
In Reading Workshop, we will continue in our Poetry Unit. We will continue to work on hearing the difference between long and short sounds.
In Writing Workshop, students will begin our Personal Narrative Unit this week. We didn’t get to it last week. So this week we will begin with “Knuffle Bunny” by Mo Willems. This is a great introduction to this unit, as the kids are familiar with the author and the story. This text reflects how authors write about a specific event with detail and humor. As students begin to write their own personal narratives, they can use our mentor texts as guides.

Math
This week we will finish Module 12. Students will continue to practice identifying and counting money. This module ends with work on patterns. Students will build and describe a repeating pattern, as well as identify a missing element in a pattern. They will have fun working with a partner to build a pattern, have their partner close their eyes while they remove a part of the pattern to see if their partner can figure out what is missing.
