What's going on?

Daily Five

Daily Five is going really well. The children enjoy this time each day. We have begun learning strategies to use when reading. So far, we know…

1. Check for Understanding (think in your head about the characters, setting, and events as you read)

2. Look at the pictures (use pictures to help with unknown words)
3. Get your mouth ready (look at the first letter and get your mouth read to read)

Letterland

We are almost finished teaching each letter for mastery. We are looking forward to working on blends and digraphs soon!
