With last week being a three day week, and this week being shortened with a field trip in the middle of our four-day week, we will finish up some of the skills from our current unit and start our next one.  The majority of the topics are the same as below. 

Summary: Ms. Novak and her students talk about where their families came from, including places such as Poland, China, India, Russia, Haiti, Nigeria, and Egypt. Everyone is surprised when twins Bella and Nick reveal their family is soon moving to Japan. 

Essential Question: How do people connect to the heritage of their family? 

Phonics: Focus: Your child will learn the following sounds and spellings: /s/ spelled cy; /ā/ spelled ai_, _a

High-Frequency Words: could, day, way

Writing: Your child will write a summary of “Family Roots.”

Grammar: Your child will review declarative (telling), interrogative (asking), exclamatory (strong feeling), and imperative (command) sentences. 

We have a fun week planned for literacy 🙂
