Unit 3 Week 1 Preview

In our new unit we will be exploring fun and laughter. In the first week we ask what makes us laugh and how do we make other people laugh. Our oral vocabulary is amuse, delighted, humorous, mood, ridiculous. Our reading sight words are away, school, today, way, why. For spelling we will focus on 'long-a' spellings. We will listen to and generate rhyme. Time permitting we will use a Flow Map to generate a retell. We will incorporate time-order cues and words into our retell.

In Writing we will begin our unit on informational texts beginning with writing a "How to"

In Social Science we will discuss good sportsmanship and rules (HSS 1.1.2) In the coming weeks we will also learn the basic components of a simple map.

In Science we will soon begin studying the elements of weather.
