Students continue to produce some very informative non-fiction books which showcase the topics they know most about. Topics range from monkeys, gymnastics, soccer, reindeer, how to get super-powers and the list goes on! We are focusing on adding TEXT FEATURES such as a table of contents, captions, bold print (and glossaries), and headings to further enhance their books. It has worked out well to have a non-fiction reading unit at the same time. Students are really learning to apply what they learn in reading into their books!
Word Work - These are the word chunks we have learned up to this point:
-at -an -all -ad -ap -ack "sh" -ash -et -ell -ent -est -in -it -ill -ick -op -ot -ug -ump
There are the accountable words we have worked on:

Handwriting: We continue to work on handwriting as needed. The students' handwriting is REALLY looking great!
Upcoming Unit: Poetry : Music in our Hearts!
