Journeys

This week we are continuing to build understanding on information texts. We have two focus read alouds:

Dogs

Helping Paws

These informational text describe a familiar subject with all students - dogs! Students will regularly encounter those kind of text in textbooks, through research, and for independent reading. The text contains some how-to elements. Through our reading students will also encounter some informational text features:

captions

bulleted lists

headings

feature boxes

Our key learning objectives are to 

Read to understand the author's purpose

Compare and contrast information

Learn about dogs that help people with disabilities

Understand how captions tell about pictures

Below is our focus wall for the week that shows all students what to expect for the week and what will be continuously returning throughout each days instruction and activities.

Vocabulary cards this week! 

 Ask your child to explain what each vocabulary word is and if they can use it in a sentence.
