Welcome back families! This week in literacy we will be finishing unit 8, which explores the habitats and biomes of animals around the world. We will also introduce our newest sound… Long o! We will be switching up our sight words a bit for the next few weeks. We will now only focus on 2 sight words per week and continue to do so through the rest of the year with review words. The sight words for this week are: would and time. In addition to this, we will begin spelling tests based on spelling patterns. This week, we will be working on short a sounds and on Friday, students will be tested on 4 CVC (consonant, vowel, consonant) words and 1 CVCC (consonant, vowel, consonant, consonant) word.
