Unit 5, Week 6 - This is the Way We Go to School

     This week our Focus Story will be This is the Way We Go to School: A Book About Children Around the World.  Through this book we will explore different regions of the world, their climates and physical attributes, and how these characteristics effect the way that children get to school each day.  We will discuss how this compares to the way/s that we get to school.  
     Our Target Skill this week is learning to draw conclusions from evidence within the book (use to clues that the pictures and text give us).  We will also continue to make predictions, retell a story, and identify the main idea of a story.  We will work to identify, form, and match the letters 'Qq' and 'Yy' to their phonemes--/kw/ and /y/, respectively.  

Amazing Words: cable car, trolley, horse-and-buggy, skis, Metro line, vaporetto 

High-Frequency Words: where, come  (Please continue to practice all of our "Popcorn Words" at home!)

Letters: Qq and Yy
