First, we brainstormed ideas for each color and then chose our favorites to write on our pages. Reading Focus of the Week High Frequency Words: eat, from, gone, grows, or, two Comprehension: Details Writing: Complete Sentences Text Box: The story this week was Where Do Frogs Come From? We looked for details in the story and looked for “bit and pieces” of words to help us read the whole word. After reading the story, we made a flow map to show the life cycle of a frog and then wrote complete sentences about each stage. We read some other nonfiction books about frogs and had fun learning some interesting facts about them. Ask your child to tell you about one of these interesting facts. In reading centers, we read frog books, worked with short u words, and worked on the computer. We also read buddy read and read with Ms. Johnson.
