April has come and gone (I can't believe it, can you?!), so we finished up our reading strategy of "Visualizing" this week. We read the story Peter and the Wolf on Monday. Then on Tuesday we discussed different musical instruments and listened to the story played by an orchestra as we pictured the characters and the plot in our minds.
In May we will focus on "Monitor and Clarify," which is all about making sure we understand what we are reading. So, in order to make sure we stop, we made our very own stop signs.
We also worked on learning new vocabulary, so we read about and discussed "bee words." We read a magazine, looked at other books as references, made a vocabulary honey comb, and even enjoyed some delicious honey comb cereal. (Yum!)
Speaking of bees, we'll be "busy as bees" in the coming month as we wind down the school year. Please make sure your child is completing his or her homework (including Spelling) every night. Thank you!
