This week we’ll begin a new 3 week reading unit on informational text. The next book we’ll be working in in called Plants and Animals in Their Habitats. We’ll be reading both non fiction and fiction selections to help us understand the new theme. The strategies we’ll be working with include identifying the main topic of a text, using images to help understand and clarify our reading, retelling story events and comparing and contrasting key points of 2 different texts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The spelling words focus on the long u sound: use, few, cute, huge, cube, music, rescue, menu, fuel, January. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
