comparing and contrasting and pronouns I and me. Please continue to review: letter names,
letter sounds, all the sounds you hear in a word, blending sounds together to
make a word, reading nightly and practicing all sight words.
***Science
and Social Studies- We were
able to discuss maps and map features between our past two reading stories, “On The Move” and “This is the Way we go to School” and we also looked at what a
globe looks like through our Earth Day
activities. We cannot wait to explore
more living things and life cycles as the weather continues to warm up and
things begin to bloom!
***Handwriting/Writing- We will be working on forming thoughts and
sentences. We will also check to make
sure that the illustration matches the sentence so that we are staying on
topic.
