Week 5

Aaaaaand they've got another Daily 5 rotation down, folks! Word Work was introduced this week! This is another independent task that helps us become better readers, writers and spellers! 

We will have different assignments and projects for word work throughout the year, but our first task was sorting words by their short vowel sounds! 

In Religion this week, we continued to discuss God's gifts to us, and, of course, our families are a huge gift! In keeping with the target theme for our reading series this week, we made a comparison of our families and The Holy Family! Check it out below!

We noted that God is in both columns because He is our Heavenly Father! We also talked about how Joseph was the father, Mary was the mother, and Jesus was the son :) We discussed the differences as well!

This week, we also spent some time building our Word Wall! We have 2 sections: Word Wall Words (which are "green words" or words that you can sound out/phonetic words) and Jail (which is for "red words" or non-phonetic words and rule breakers). Some words are living in jail until we learn the actual rule they break :)
