Unit 3, Week 2 - Little Quack

    This week our Focus Story will be Little Quack, written by Lauren Thompson and illustrated by Derek Anderson.  This story is about a family of growing ducklings who must find the courage to leave the nest.  Little Quack's four brothers and sisters are brave enough to follow Mama to the pond--will Little Quack be brave as well?
     Our Target Skill will be plot identification.  We will also continue to practice retelling a story, as well as distinguishing the difference between realism and fantasy.  We will work on identifying, forming, and matching the letter 'Rr' to its phoneme--/r/.
