This week with our Wonders program we will be talking and reading about folktales. We will connect one of our Wonders’ stories, The Nice Mitten, to The Mitten (versions by Jan Brett and Jim Aylesworth) that we read a few weeks ago. The phonics focus will be difficult. Soft “c” and “g” as well as “dge” will be introduced. The spelling words for the week will not have any of these spelling patterns. Instead, we will practice them in the classroom all week. The spelling patterns this week will continue with Long Vowel A and Long Vowel I.

We talked extensively last Friday about Dr. King, one of America’s greatest leaders. Getting together with our Reading Buddies, we listened to James Taylor’s song Shed A Little Light – a song honoring Dr. King and read a Scholastic News featuring Dr. King’s granddaughter. Did your child tell you about our investigation with shadows? Using their knowledge of the sun and the path that it takes across the sky, they were able to move a light source (a flashlight) to change the shape and length of the shadow on an object. This upcoming week we will be looking at the patterns in the sun’s movement across the sky and then create a Sun Finder which will show the sun’s movement across the sky.
