Week of March 28, 2022

 Literacy

In ReadyGen we continue to focus on characters, setting, and retelling. Students are learning to recall information in a nonfiction text. Students are earning the difference between fiction and non-fiction reading material. Vocabulary and parts of speech (nouns, proper nouns, and verbs) are essential parts of our lessons. Syllables, punctuation, contractions, ABC order and compound words are points of focus in our grammar lessons.   

Phonics

Focus: 

  long a spelled -ai- , -ay and singular possessive nouns
