Unit 2, Week 5 - A Bed for the Winter

     This week our Focus Story will be A Bed for the Winter by Karen Wallace.  In this story, we will follow a dormouse as she attempts to find a home for the winter.  Along the way she observes other creatures readying their homes for the winter, and narrowly escapes both an owl and a snake before finding a winter home of her own. 
     Our Target Skill this week is determining the sequence of events, or the order in which things happen within a story.  We will also continue to practice making predictions and retelling a story, as well as classifying and categorizing information.  We will be working to identify, form, and match the letter "Ii" to its phoneme--/i/.
