Literacy

Our field trip to VINS wraps up our informational reading and writing about birds. Next week we begin our final module in Literacy that focuses on answering the question: How do characters in stories help care for birds? Students will read a variety of texts about characters who help birds. This will help them build the skills they will need for comparing texts. Through structured discussions and writing in response to text, students will compare and contrast the birds’ experiences to find similarities and differences between them using evidence from the text to support their conclusions.

Next week in word study, students will learn to add the suffixes -s, -ed and -ing to non-changing base words, including two-syllable words with closed and vowel-consonant-e syllables. Heart words for this unit include: work, word, write, being, their, first, look, good, new.
