Reading: “An Egg is an Egg” Students will be retelling stories including key details, and demonstrate understanding of their central message. As always, we will be reading poetry for fluency and expression practice.
Writing: We are continuing with our Opinion/Persuasive writing. The students are learning to write about things they like and how to CONVINCE their readers on why they like it. We will be focusing on writing book reviews, giving sneak peak summaries and using conjunctions. We also continue to focus on capital letters, ending marks and neat handwriting.
