This week our focus story will be Life in an Ocean by Carol K. Lindeen. With this book, we will explore life as it exists in the ocean habitat. We will learn about the animals that call this habitat their home and how they adapt to their surroundings for survival.
Our Target Skill this week will be comparing and contrasting. The skill of classifying and categorizing information will continue to be revisited and assessed this week as well. We will be working to identify, form, and match the letter "Aa" to its sound--/a/. We will spend two weeks on the letter "Aa" this year, as all of the vowels can make two different sounds (short and long vowel sounds). This week we will be focusing on the short "a" sound, as can be heard at the beginning of words such as "alligator", "ant", and "astronaut".
Amazing Words: ocean, world, crab, shell, fish, seaweed
