ELA: Readers are going to learn the power of rereading and they are going read using the punctuation they find in their books (. ! ?)

Phonics: Students will learn that they can use their knowledge of diagraphs to help them solve tricky words when reading. They will also learn that writers keep their vowel power activated all the time, always staying on the lookout for vowels in their writing and checking that every syllable of every word has at least one vowel. They will be learning three new snap word: play, say, and day

ELA: At home they can look for punctuation marks in books and help them read with them in mind. video

Phonics: Students can write sentences using the words with the diagraph they know (th, ch, sh) and the new snap words. 

Los estudiantes comenzarán a usar su escritura para expresar sus opiniones, identificar un problema y proponer soluciones. También continuaremos reforzando la lectura, poniendo especial atención en las vocales para leer correctamente las palabras. Asimismo, pondremos en práctica la estrategia de estirar las palabras para escribirlas completas, recordando que las consonantes siempre van acompañadas de vocales.

En casa pueden observar a su alrededor, identificar problemas sencillos y proponer posibles soluciones. También pueden usar el cartel de “Escribir para mejorar el mundo” como apoyo para expresar sus ideas, practicar la escritura estirando los sonidos y recordar el uso de las vocales al formar palabras.

In this lesson, students will view a scenario of two characters having a problem. They will practice identifying a problem and the characters’ differing emotions and perspectives on it.

Reinforce lesson skills by pointing out and helping kids to identify minor problems before helping resolve them. (e.g., It looks like we have a problem here. What do each of you want? What are you feeling? Can you state the problem in words? ).
