Durante esta semana, los escritores dedicaron tiempo a revisar y mejorar sus escritos en sus libros. También presentamos la consonante Nn y continuamos reforzando la lectura de sílabas y palabras que incluyen las consonantes ya estudiadas (m, p, s, t, l, d, f). Recordamos a los niños que las vocales son esenciales para formar sílabas y leer con mayor fluidez.

En casa pueden reforzar el aprendizaje leyendo con sus hijos palabras o frases cortas que incluyan las consonantes estudiadas (por ejemplo: nido, mano, luna masa, foto). También pueden practicar formando sílabas con tarjetas o escribiendo palabras simples, recordando siempre incluir las vocales. Leer juntos diariamente, aunque sean pocos minutos, fortalece la comprensión y el gusto por la lectura.

Students will explore what they know about birds and observe them on the playground. They will record their findings, discuss bird needs, and ask questions for the wonder wall. After reading a nonfiction book, they will create mini-books showing what birds need to survive.

At home, children can go on a mini bird-watching adventure by observing birds in their backyard or neighborhood, using binoculars to spot them, and drawing what they see. They can also create a simple bird journal, writing a few sentences about each bird’s colors, size, and what it might eat, then share their favorite discovery with their family.

Emotional understanding includes recognizing that our emotions, thoughts, and actions are connected; and their interconnectedness depends on the situation and on the individual. In this lesson, students will reflect on situations, determine how they might feel, think, and act in response, and compare their response to others.

Have students share about how they have different feelings, thoughts, and actions in situations that come up in school.
