Writing: Writers will take their time to work to add comparisons to their writing that help readers picture things. Most kids will continue drafting the book they began in the previous sessions, although they can also revise those books and others to bring out more comparisons and descriptions.

Phonics: We will study words ending on inflectional endings like -ing, -er, -s, -es, blends like -nk and -st, and digraphs like -ch and -sh. We will then use these endings to expand our vocabulary.

Writing: Check out this book, "Blue Whales: Giant Mammals." Have your child look at the “Table of Contents”, read to find the comparisons the author uses, and ask yourself, "How does this comparison help me understand this part better?"

Phonics: Look for blends, digraphs and inflectional endings in books at home. Then, ask your child to make new words using some of the blends, digraphs and inflectional endings found. For example, if he found "thank", he can turn that into "stank, sank, and prank".

Students will reflect on their reasons for not including others (some of which may be legitimate) and take ownership of their actions by becoming actively involved in finding solutions to include others.

Students will discuss scenarios in which someone is being excluded in order to consider how that person could be included.

You can think of a time that you saw someone else was excluded. How did the excluded person look, sound, and feel? Draw a picture and add captions about how the other person could have been included.

Share with your family a time when you felt left out. What happened? How did you want to be included?
