Our Focus Stories this week will help us to answer the Essential Question: Why is it important to try hard? Our first story this week will be the fantasy, Curious George Makes Pancakes by Margret and H.A. Rey. "Every year George and the Man with the Yellow Hat attend the pancake breakfast to benefit the children’s hospital. Always curious, George finds his way to the pancake table. After making some of the most interesting pancakes the crowd has ever seen, George gets into even more monkey mischief."
Our second story will also be a fiction story--Kitten's First Full Moon by Kevin Henkes. "It is Kitten's first full moon, and when she sees it she thinks it is a bowl of milk in the sky. And she wants it. Does she get it? Well, no . . . and yes. What a night!"Our Target Skills this week will be substituting phonemes, pausing for punctuation, antonyms, drawing conclusions, fantasy vs. realistic text, visualizing, and identifying nouns. We will also be working with the vowel Uu--working to discriminate the difference between the short and long vowel sounds.
