This week our Focus Stories will help us to answer the question, "How do our senses help us learn about the world?" The first story we will read is Listen, Listen by Phillis Gershator, illustrated by Allison Jay. The author uses rhyme and rhythm in this informational text to celebrate the sounds of the seasons, from summer to autumn, and winter to spring.Our second story, also an informational text, is My Five Senses by Aliki. The author/illustrator show us how we can use our five senses to learn about the world, how each sound, taste, smell, sight, and touch help us to discover something new.
Our Target Skills for this week are blending onsets and rimes, pausing for punctuation, using context clues to discover the meaning of words, and comparing and contrasting. We will also be focusing on the letter 'Aa' and its corresponding short vowel phoneme /a/. Letter: Aa
