ELA: Our readers started a new reading unit "Sharing Reading", during this week they are going to learn that they can use the snap words they know to read pattern books.

Phonics: Students will use their word part power to make as many new words as they can. They will learn to write words letter-by-word-part and they will use it to read simple rhyming books, while focusing on the fact that words that sound the same at the end are often spelled the same at the end. 

ELA: Practice reading at home and find snap words in the books and the pattern. Here you have an options: The Big Cat I can

Phonics: Students can read familiar books to find and use word parts. (-an, -at, -ap, -in, -it)

Al iniciar el segundo semestre, los niños continuarán fortaleciendo sus habilidades como Superlectores, utilizando distintas estrategias que les ayudarán a leer con mayor fluidez, comprensión y confianza.

Durante esta semana, los estudiantes releerán para conocer mejor a los personajes, usarán su voz para expresar sentimientos, practicarán la lectura usando partes de las palabras y combinarán todos sus poderes de lectura. También compartirán con orgullo lo que han aprendido como Superlectores.

Estas actividades les permitirán disfrutar la lectura y reconocer sus avances como lectores.

En casa, pueden releer juntos los libros que ya se les han compartido anteriormente, recordar las estrategias de lectura y, si aún se le dificulta reconocer algunos sonidos del alfabeto, practicar de manera constante. Estrategias Libro Libro 2 Libro 3 Alfabeto

At school, students will practice this by exploring classroom maps and globes, locating familiar places like their school, neighborhood, land, and water, and talking about where things are using simple direction words.

With help from a family member, your child can draw a simple map of their home or bedroom. He/she could include a few important places (bed, table, door, couch, bathroom, etc.) Use shapes to do your drawing.

Each person brings to their interactions and relationships a unique set of experiences, interests, abilities, heritage, and temperamental qualities. Sometimes students can find these differences interesting, but sometimes they may view these differences as very different from their own. Respecting and appreciating what makes each person unique can foster understanding, empathy, and positive attitudes toward others. In this lesson, students make collages that help them understand their diverse backgrounds and how that diversity makes us have valuable contributions to offer.

As children listen to or read stories, note how similar or different the characters in the stories are to them. Find how their differences make them special.
