ELA: Readers are going to be learning how they can use parts that repeat a lot in books for them to retell de story to their partners, and also they will start to focus on the setting to tell more about the story.

Phonics: Students engage in activities that enhance their vocabulary and comprehension skills by exploring context clues to understand new words and collaborating in discussions. They create sentences using vocabulary words and share them with peers. Additionally, students participate in word sorting activities to categorize words by their characteristics and develop a "word wall," illustrating and defining new words to reinforce their learning and connections in writing.

ELA: At home have kids retell a familiar story books focusing on the setting of the story

Phonics: fun at-home activity, students will create their own mini "word wall" using a poster board or large sheet of paper. They can choose 5-10 new words they’ve encountered recently—these can come from books, conversations, or even their favorite shows.

Mathematicians will revisit and celebrate what they’ve learned about numbers, patterns, and shapes. They will practice counting, matching numerals, and identifying shapes. Students will also work in small groups to create pattern projects using the ABAB pattern and discuss the attributes of basic shapes like squares and triangles.

Parents are encouraged to review counting skills with students by counting objects around the house up to 10. Create simple ABAB patterns together using household items (such as silverware or toys) to reinforce patterning skills. Additionally, practice identifying shapes in your surroundings, such as finding squares in windows or rectangles in doors, to reinforce shape recognition.

Students will participate in a scavenger hunt across the school to explore different areas like the gymnasium, hallways, and art room, reflecting on specific rules that ensure safety and inclusivity. Following this, they will create their own signs or rules for the classroom using art supplies, promoting responsibility and respect. Finally, in a community council setting, students will discuss and suggest changes to existing rules, fostering a sense of community and encouraging open dialogue about inclusivity.

Students will create a colorful "Super Rule Poster" at home to showcase their favorite rule that keeps them safe and happy. They’ll think of themselves as "Rule Superheroes," highlighting the importance of their chosen rule.

In this lesson, friends will use role-play to practice demonstrating clues to identify different emotions and to identify how they and others feel.
