Our nonfiction units are in full swing
We are now working on writing nonfiction chapter books.
We are adding different kinds of writing to some chapters-How To's and Lists.
We always make sure that we are trying our best to capture all the sounds we hear in words. We can clap out the chunks we hear in words (syllables) to help us spell all the way across longer words.
Speaking of spelling...
We are practicing these glued (welded) sounds:
Our newer snap words are:
why, by, my, try, too, very, also, some, come, put, two, are, were, where, who, what, when, there, here, from, have, do, does, was, one, said, you, your, I, they
Reading nonfiction is very exciting.
The variety of nonfiction books available to young readers is amazing.

We play lots of math games to practice our adding and subtracting skills.
We are starting to use number lines.

We reviewed doubles and doubles plus or minus one.
What can one little person do?
What can one little me or you do?
What can one little person do to help this world go round?
One can help another one
And together we can get the job done.
What can one little person do to help this world.
Brother Martin Luther King, he told the world, "I Have a Dream"
He led this country's fight for human rights
We must fight for liberty until all of us are free
And we'll know that we have justice on our side.
