ELA: Students are learning that avid readers don’t just read words — they also think and feel along with the characters in the story. They are practicing holding on to their reading thoughts by drawing or writing quick notes about what they are thinking while they read.

Phonics: Students will be practicing reading in partnerships and using vowel sounds to solve tricky words, especially vowels like i and u that can sound different ways. They will also sort words by vowel sounds and work in clubs to teach others what they have learned about vowels.

ELA: At home, encourage your child to talk about how characters might be feeling during a story. You can also have them stop while reading to draw or write a quick thought about the book. Another fun activity is using sticky notes to mark favorite parts or important ideas while reading together!.

Phonics: Play word games sorting short and long vowel sounds. Practice reading tricky words together and talking about the vowel sound you hear. Ask your child to teach you about a vowel sound they learned, just like they will teach their classmates in school!

We are practicing for our End-of-Year Celebration! We’ll learn songs, dances, and speaking parts. We are also learning how to be good teammates by listening, taking turns, and showing respect—just like in a real community.

Practice songs, lines, or dance moves.

Talk about teamwork and why we celebrate together.

Practice standing still and waiting your turn.
