Writing: Writers of small moments will develop their own ways of using materials for revision.

Phonics: We will practice reading snap words during shared reading activities, focusing mostly on words with short O. 

Writing: As powerful and reflective writers, we are so proud of our writing pieces. Use the chart “Talk about my writing” to retell at home about the last book you wrote: 

I am making ____________ I am proud of ________ This is tricky__________. Remember,  writers admire their writing, noticing all the ways they’ve grown. They look at their old writing and their newest writing and they say, “Wow! Look what I can do now! “

Phonics: practice reading, writing, spelling and sounding out our list of snap words. Play memory games printing two sets of snap words for children to match. Organize them in ABC order, by number or letters, or by number of syllables. 

Durante esta semana, los lectores aprenderán datos interesantes sobre los Símbolos Patrios, prestando especial atención al significado de palabras nuevas o difíciles mientras leen. Además, conocerán el origen de algunas comidas, bebidas y bailes más representativos de Nicaragua.

Home Connection Unit 1 Module 3 Session 5.   Popsicle Tallies  Due on Thursday, Sept 11  Activity #3 What Comes Next?

🕵️‍♀️ Family Investigation:

Students are thinking like young historians by investigating their own families. They’re learning how to ask meaningful questions about the past.

📖 Story Sharing:

Students are encouraged to share short stories about their families, including special memories, traditions, or items (artifacts) that hold meaning.

🧩 Class Discussions:

Through guided conversations, students are learning to connect their personal experiences to bigger ideas about time, history, and identity.

You can support this learning by:

Talk with your child about a special family memory, tradition, or story that could inspire their writing.

Help them identify a family artifact (a photo, object, or item) that connects to their story.

Encourage your child to ask questions about your family’s past and share your own stories with them.

Remind them to bring any items or information to school that could support their writing.

Thank you for being a part of your child’s learning journey!

Friends and Learners will participate in activities to find similarities between their friends and discuss the importance of getting to know each other and how finding commonalities and differences can help us understand and appreciate each other more. 

Friends and learners can think about questions with their families to get to know each other more and discover your differences and commonatilies. It could be ¿What is your favorite ice cream flavor? ¿What was your favorite subject in school? ¿What is your favorite sport?
