Reading: 
We began learning about non-fiction books this week.  We talked about the differences between fiction and non-fiction books and added some non-fiction books to our book bins.  

Writing:
This week we worked on writing small moment (personal narrative) stories.  We also learned how to use a checklist to make sure that we have completed our stories.  Some items on our checklist include, "I used a capital letter at the beginning of each sentence, I used finger spaces, I told the setting, etc..."  Next week we will finish up personal narrative writing and begin How-To writing.
   
Word Study:
This week we focused on different spellings for the /ai/ sound.  We learned that there are eight different spellings for /ai/!  



Math:
On Tuesday, we did "Candy Heart" math.  I gave each child a box of candy hearts.  They had to sort the candy hearts by color and then graph them.  Then, they could eat them!  We also took the Unit 3 test this week.  Look for it to come home in your child's folder next week Friday.
