Reading & Writing Workshop (Growing Knowledge Together - Extension): Our readers and writers are taking everything they learned during their deep-dive research and expanding on it for an audience.

Creative Teaching Platforms: Writers are learning how to turn their written chapters into interactive formats, such as informational posters, labeled diagrams, or "Fun Fact" trivia cards.

Speaking Like an Expert: Readers are practicing how to present their findings clearly, using a confident teaching voice and engaging their audience with visual aids.

Phonics Workshop (Grade 2 Review): Our Tigers are participating in a powerful review of the most critical spelling and word-attack strategies learned this year. We are focusing on complex suffixes, prefixes, and multi-syllabic word division rules to ensure absolute reading automaticity moving forward.

Expert Interview: Act as a reporter and interview your reader about their research topic. Ask them unexpected questions to see how they can use their background knowledge to answer.

Word Breakdown Challenge: While reading together at night, challenge your Tigers to spot longer words and physically break them down into their prefixes, base words, or suffixes (e.g., un-read-able).

En el aula, los alumnos participarán en desafíos ortográficos interactivos donde clasificarán y acentuarán correctamente palabras según su sílaba tónica y su función interrogativa. Además, realizarán juegos de roles y dinámicas de emparejamiento de tarjetas para identificar sinónimos y antónimos, aplicando estos conceptos directamente en sus cuadernos de escritura.

En casa, los niños pueden practicar buscando palabras agudas, graves y esdrújulas en sus libros de lectura favoritos y enlistarlas en una tabla. También se sugiere jugar en familia a "veo veo" o "basta" (stop) utilizando únicamente sinónimos o antónimos, y escribir tres preguntas divertidas usando correctamente los signos y las tildes interrogativas (qué, cómo, cuándo).

Students will wrap up the unit by redesigning a playground
