Winslow's Weekly Update
Happenings in Room B-4
Reading
This week we will continue our learning of determining important text and being able to identify the sequence of events in our reading. We will use the Life Cycle of a Butterfly to help us understand sequencing. Our phonic focus will be on words that have a "long a". I call these Firecracker e words. The "e" explodes and scares the vowel (a) to say its own name. (cake, state, name, late...) Sometimes we also refer to it as a "silent e".
Holidays
December is filled with many holidays and traditions. We will learn about Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. It is important to learn about ways that others celebrate at this time of the year!
Looking Ahead
