Truitt Tribune
Winter Break Edition
A Note from the Teacher:
See you all in the NEW YEAR!
:) Mrs. Truitt
Reading and Writing:
The second strategy helps us read a variety of words (accuracy). The strategy is- look for chunks and small words you know. For example, while reading the word together a reader can see right away the th and er chunks and the small word to. We have started a "chunks we know" poster to help us keep track of all the word parts that can help us read tough words.
In writing we are beginning our NonFiction writing unit. We began by looking at Mentor texts to get a good understanding of what features we may need to include and some ideas on how to tell more about one topic while staying on topic. Then we brainstormed a list of things we know alot about and we will be choosing one of the listed topics as our first all about book this year! We will continue this learning when we come back from break.
