Writing: Writers will study series they love and think, ‘What makes a series a series?’ Then, use what they learn to write their own.

Phonics: Word Builders will continue to work with vowel teams. Using the different sounds each team makes to write words correctly.

Writing: Make sure to use all you know about “Series Writers”, pick a strategy, and practice it at home.

Phonics: When students are reading at home look for vowel teams and ask:

"What sound do these two letters make?"

"Does this vowel team make only one sound?"

"Which sound do you think you should use with this word?" 

Los lectores leen cada vez más fábulas / cuentos y se detienen a pensar en que se parecen las historias o los personajes. Usarán la comparación y el contraste para poder conversar de ellos con su audiencia a profundidad. 

En casa vuelve a leer El día de campo de don Chancho y Guapa . Conversa con un compañero de lectura sobre : ¿En qué se parecen los personajes? ¿Qué aprendieron al final del cuento? ¿ Por qué crees que es importante aceptarse tal como eres? 

Students will solve subtraction story problems with minuends to 20 involving situations of taking from and taking apart strategies. They will model the problems on the number rack, recording equatons to match.

Students are learning to resolve problems and conflicts in a thoughtful and intentional way. As they practice, they deepen their understanding of their own emotions and reactions while considering the perspectives of others.

You can support this learning by modeling calm conflict resolution and encouraging your child to pause, reflect, and think about how their choices affect others.
