What a week so far! Field trip pictures will be up by the end of the week.

Literacy Unit: Amazing Ocean

Reading: We read a story called Fish Faces. Each student designed their own type of fish.  We explored the ocean a bit and chose a sea animal to work on informational writing. They have to look up information about their sea animal and report it back. We will also read The fisherman and his wife and Whenever the water comes up. Ask  your child what was read and what happened in the stories.

Strategy: Retell, using description and collecting information

Writing: Students will write about their sea animal that was chosen and discussed. They will write one fact and one description (at least 2 sentences). Yur child will be encouraged to write more!

Spelling words: has, look, big, pig, wig, dig, fish

Word family: -ig (rig, fig, dig, big, wig, pig, twig)

Letters of the week: Xx, Vv
