Curriculum Update

Our class is finishing up Unit 6 of the Superkids program this week. We will be working on the following skills in the next unit:story setting, sequencing, following directions, synonyms, antonyms, using context clues, reading with expression, captions, and opinion sentences. Our phonics focus will be on the sounds of aw and all. We will also be reviewing the reading and spelling all of the Memory Words thus far. (Please see the complete list on the right.)

In addition to our stories and classwork we will be reading winter stories, learning about Martin Luther King, Jr, and Groundhog Day stories. In our classroom centers we have the opportunity to make mini books for reading practice and writing about our wishes.

We have been working in small groups focusing on reading aloud, oral comprehension, phonics review, writing response activities, and some reading challenges.
