ELA: Writers are going to celebrate that their first writing unit is done. After the celebration students are going to set up the reading workshop routine. 

Phonics: The students trace the letters W, G, Q and Y. Also they sing the alphabet song. They actively listen for additional sounds and incorporate more letters into their labels. We introduce new snap words I, Like and My, and engage in forming new words. Each letter has its unique sound, and the students enjoy the process of learning to write and recognize them while participating in singing and interactive activities.

ELA: At home students are encoraged to keep writing about something they love and add labels to teach others with the sounds they hear. Ask them about what they learned  1. how to be a writer ?and 2. how to be a book-maker.? 

Phonics: Choose a letter: W, G, Q, or Y, and find three items around your house that start with that letter. For example, for "W," you might look for a wallet, water bottle, and window; for "G," find a game, gift, and grapes; for "Q," look for a quilt, queen toy, and quarter; and for "Y," search for yogurt, a yellow crayon, and a yo-yo. Share your items with your family and explain how each one starts with your letter. Have fun!

Esta semana los escritores aprenden la rutina del taller de escritura, así como el sonido Ll. También reforzamos los sonidos Mm, Pp y Ss para combinarlos con las vocales y formar sílabas y palabras, además de repasar las palabras frecuentes ya estudiadas.

En casa pueden reforzar los sonidos y trazos de las vocales y consonantes estudiadas. También pueden jugar con el enlace adjunto para practicar las palabras frecuentes.

Students created family portraits using various materials and shared personal stories about their family members. They also participated in writing activities where they expressed their preferences by listing things they like and things they don’t like.

At home, students can create family portraits using any materials they have, write or talk about things they like and don’t like, and share special stories about their family. 

In this unit, students learn the importance of being their best selves. They will learn to recognize their own emotions and those of others; link emotions and thoughts; connect emotions, thoughts, and actions; regulate their emotions; and have a growth mindset. 

Promote conversations using questions such as: How can you recognize your emotions? How can you recognize others emotions? How can you connect your thoughts and actions to what you feel?
