Literacy: Informational Texts and Glued Sounds

First graders are delving more deeply into their study of the sun, moon and stars.  They are exploring observable patterns in the sky.  In our new unit, students are moving from narrative to informational texts that continue to grow their undertaking of patterns in the sky.  Our guiding question for this unit is:  “What patterns can we observe in the sky?”

This week we are  finishing up a unit in word study on glued sounds: -ang, -ing, -ong, -ung, -ink, -onk, -ank, -unk. Please take time to practice the following heart words at home with your child: why, by, try, my, two, too, also, put, come, some. Students are expected to read and spell these words. Thank you!
