August 24-28

We got so distracted with the beginning of school, and all the things that need to get done, that we completely overlooked updating our blog!  Sorry!!

Here is what we will be working on in English class this week:
  • phonics: a, b, d, f, & g
  • phonics: common word list #1: the, of, and, a, to, in, is, you, that, it
  • phonics: building CVC words
  • phonics: building and decoding nonsense words
  • phonics: capitalization (names, I, first letter in a sentence)
  • think, pair, share routine
  • whole group discussion routine
  • read-aloud routine
  • benchmark vocabulary routine
  • Daily 5: read-to-self routine (building stamina) - working on being able to read independently for 20 minutes
  • basic noun-verb sentence structure
  • thinking maps: multi-flow, circle, and bridge
