Writers' Workshop-Personal Narratives
We will begin Book Reviews to learn how to state and support opinions. Currently we are reading favorite classroom books and discussing them using the following sentences:
1. This story made me feel ________.
2. I felt _______ because____________.
Try incorporating these sentences when discussing books at home!
Readers' Workshop
We have started Shared Reading. Together as a class, we read through a story and learn different reading strategies to help read unfamiliar words. This is to prepare us for our next unit Just Right Books. Students will learn to identify books that are comfortable for them to read independently using reading strategies.

This week we reviewed previous skills taught in FUNdations. Next week we will begin our second unit. This unit focuses on CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words.
