Unite: This week we will continue our last unit of the school year; Animals. This week we will learn all about farm animals as well as reinforcing all the skills we've learned this year. Our vocabulary word will be "onomatopoeia" This is a word that describes the sound an animal makes such as ; Moo, oink or baa. We will also be working with students to make sure they keep the skills we've all worked so hard on this year.

Commitment
Remind children about the ways we keep our classroom safe ( walking feet, listening ears, gentle hands, big voice, sharing and helping hands ). Remind them that it is the teachers/parents job to keep them safe and their job to help keep everyone safe. Tell children that one way they can keep the classroom safe is to follow the commitments on our poster. Point to each icon and ask people to remind everyone what it means. Continue this discussion all week. Encourage children to select one of the commitments they are willing to follow and celebrate their success.
Morning Message
Write the sentence saying each word as you write. Place your hand under each word in the sentence as you say it and have the children read it with you. Point out that words move from left to right on the page. Introduce that words have space in between them and you can measure that space with your finger.
Say the sentence. Ask students to say the sentence with you. Encourage them to say it again, this time clapping their hands for each syllable. Check that children are clapping syllables and not words.
Introduce alliteration ( series of words that begin with the same sound)by repeating a tongue twister. Discuss similarities and differences in the uppercase and lowercase letters shapes(curves, lines angles). Call attention to punctuation marks and spacing between words.
