Our Focus Stories this week will help us to answer the essential question: What is it like to be the baby of the family? Our first story is an example of realistic fiction--One of Three, written by Angela Johnson and illustrated by David Soman. This story is written from the perspective of the youngest of three sisters, as she reflects on her daily relationships with her older sisters and her family.Our second story this week will be Someone Bigger, written by Johnathan Emmett and illustrated by Adrian Reynolds. "Sam and Dad have made a kite. They have made it large. They have made it light. They go out on a windy day to see if they can fly it but the wind blows hard and Dad thinks Sam's too small to fly the kite. It needs someone bigger - or does it?"
Our Target Skills this week will be substituting phonemes, blending words, reading with expression, comparing and contrasting, clarification, classifying and categorizing, and subject-verb agreement. We will also be working to recognize the phonemes /l/ and /w/ in words--in the initial, medial, and final positions. Letters: Ll and Ww
