Knowledge/Skills (Reading and Writing): No new spelling words this week
Skills Reading:
Unit 5 of the Core Knowledge Language Arts program. The
Reader for this unit is called Kate’s Book. Your student will bring home stories you can
read together about a young Navajo girl named Kate who spends a summer out west with
her Doba, or grandmother. Remember that reading at home with your student is
important for their success as a reader.
In addition, your student’s spelling words for this week include a review of previously
taught sound/spellings. As usual, there is one Tricky Word. Tricky Words do not play by the
rules, meaning there are spellings that do not sound the way students would expect them
to. These words need to be memorized, so your student will benefit from practice reading
and writing them.
Knowledge:
This Fairy tales domain will introduce students to fairy tales that have been favorites with children for generations. Students will learn about the elements of fairy tales that distinguish them as a unique type of fiction that still has the elements of character, plot, and setting that are found in other types of fiction. Reading these fairy tales will help first-grade students develop a strong foundation for the understanding of other fictional stories in later grades.
