This Week

Language and Writing
This week in language, we are working on identifying different parts of speech. 

  • nouns
  • verbs
  • helping verbs
  • pronouns
  • reflexive pronouns
  • articles
  • adjectives
In writing we are adding adjectives to our sentences to give them more detail.

Reading
This week we are reading fairy tales and tall tales. 
  • We are focusing on identifying the problem and the solution in a story. 
  • We are talking about elements in a story that are real and elements that are fantasy.
Please be sure to have your child read every night. We don't want them to fall behind in AR.
