Our Learning
Language:
This week, in our phonics lessons, we will explore the -or and -ore sounds, as in the words for, fork, corn, porch, more, store, story, before.
This week's new heart word: nothing
Please have your child practise the heart words we have learned so far in class: the, I, a, said, to, do, of, see, he, be, me, from, you, what, have, look, book, are, was, your, want, go, no, so, goes, says, they, their, were, talk, walk, could, should, would, or, for, who, by, my, one, once, use, two, does, many, any, been, into, friend, because, woman, women, both, four, fourth, forty, people, pretty, *nothing.
In Writing, we have completed our persuasive letters. We will complete some more persuasive texts over the next couple of weeks as additional practice. Our next writing unit will focus on procedural writing (writing instructions). We will practise with instructions for how to wash your hands and how to do a fire drill practice. Examples of procedural texts or instructions are recipes, so if you are cooking or baking at home, please take the time to show your child the recipe and talk about how it is laid out (e.g., title, goal or purpose, ingredients/materials, steps, diagrams/pictures, conclusion).
In reading comprehension over the next few weeks, we will explore the parts or elements of fictional narrative stories (make-believe stories). We will work on retelling fictional narrative stories using the Shape Go! Map as an organizer.
