Literacy Week of October 30th

We are starting Unit 4, Pushes and Pulls. Our big idea for this unit is, how do things move? We will discover the answer to this question through short stories, non-fiction texts, and poems. We will introduce the sound for the letters Tt and Hh. In addition to this, we will practice the following sight words: as, have, and his. Please start the November sight words with your kindergartener and practice these every night if you can.
