Reading - We are continuing to build our reading stamina and meet in our small reading groups. We are so fortunate to have our literacy coach, Mrs. Myrick, help in the room three days a week to assist our young readers!
Writing - We are still working on writing our informational books. This week we will learn about how writers sort things into groups to help the reader learn from their books. Students will learn how to create a table of contents and a diagram for their books.
