Peek at the Week of April 26-30

The last week of April, so hard to believe!  We continue to collect Pennies for Patients and Boxtops. 

Reading Workshop: We will be finishing up our unit on story elements by examining the elements of problem and solution. 

Writing Workshop: Thank you to the parents who typed our Realistic Fiction stories over the weekend.  We will be spending time this week deciding on the best placement of the sentences in our books.  Then detailed illustrations will be added to our hardcover books. 

Phonics/Spelling: This week we will focus on contractions.  The words for the assessment are:  can't, I'm, wasn't, it's, you're.
