Language arts continues with spelling sorts, sentence structure, reading and writing. Keep up the sight word practice – your children are doing great! Reading workshop has your children using strategies to find harder words, sight words, using a word wall, and working with their partner to read pictures with more words. We are using the strategies to build stronger reading muscles as we read for fun and to learn. Writing workshop how we can help care for the world as we work on the persuasive unit.
