Week of 12/3 - 12/6:
This week, we are busy reading some brand new books! Our focus this week has been self-correcting to monitor our own understanding when reading. This means, if when we are reading a sentence or word doesn't make sense we "Go Back and Re-Read" (Ask your child about the song we sing!) By doing this we are able to comprehend the text better both on a literal and inferential level. We also continued working on our phonics by building words in word families. This week we have been working with and reviewing word families with the short vowel i, such as words that end with --it and -in. Please find the book links below to see what texts we have been working on. They will love reading these to you!
G46 A Rainy Day.pdfIn this text, we discussed what we like to do on a rainy day. We compared and contrasted different things the characters did in the rain and we wrote about our favorite things.
G48 My Friend.pdfWe discussed that good readers often make connections to predict or understand what characters may do or are doing. We brainstormed things that we liked to do with our friends. We discussed how the friends must feel about each other. We read to find out what the two friends like to do together.

We are continuing to "move and groove" in our Go Blue class. The students were excited to introduce a new Decoding Strategy animal called Trying Lion. When we use Trying Lion, we try a word that we think makes sense and go back and re-read to see if the word is correct. When we use Trying Lion, we are working with our cuing system we use while reading. As readers we use meaning, syntax, and visual cues. This is one of our "trickier" decoding strategies, so we will continue to practice this skill throughout the year. We also continued adding to our short "i" word families when we introduced the -ip and -ill word family. Words like tin, fin, bin, and shin are all in the -in word family. We are also continuing to read new stories each week. Check out some of the books we worked on throughout the week.
G50 Trucks.pdfWith this text, we discussed main idea and details. We discussed how trucks have many important jobs. We read to find out what kind of trucks there were, and how these trucks were the same and different.
G52 The Puppets.pdfWith this text, we discussed verbs. We practiced text essential sight words and discussed the concept of contractions with the word I'm. We read this text to find out how the puppets could move. Students designed their own puppets and wrote about how they could move.
