Unit 2, Week 4 - Bear Snores On

     This week our Focus Story will be Bear Snores On, written by Karma Wilson and illustrated by Jane Chapman. A variety of animals seek shelter in Bear's cave, one by one,  to escape the cold. The animals make themselves at home, but, even after the corn is popped and tea is brewed, Bear just keeps snoring, asleep through it all.
     Our Target Skill for this week is recognition of the differences between realism and fantasy.  We will also continue to work on identifying the setting of a story (where it happens).  We will be working to identify, form, and match the letter "Cc" to its sound--/k/.

Amazing Words:  sleep, winter, cave, woods, storm, blustery

High-Frequency Words:  We will continue to practice the words "we", "my", and "like".  (Also, please continue to review the following "Popcorn Words" at home: "I", "am", "to", "a", "the", "little", "have", and "is".)

Letter: Cc
