Week of November 5^th-9^th     

Our Reading story for the week is “Bear Snores On”. Our question of the week is: What unique thing does a bear do in winter? The Amazing Words for this story are: sleep, cave, storm, winter, woods, blustery. The high frequency words are: we, my, like. The text based comprehension skill is realism and fantasy. We will listen for /k/ spelled Cc at the beginning and end of a word. We will focus on the correct formation of Cc. Please practice reading the “The Cap” decodable story. *Each decodable story can be recorded for the monthly Reading Logs. J Please be sure to practice letter naming and sight words daily. Use the flashcards that were enclosed in the plastic sleeve at the beginning of the school year to practice learning these words.
