Reading / Writing / Spelling News

READING NEWS:

This week we will be continuing in our Understanding Characters unit. We will start the week by learning about how to predict what and how details will happen by using empathy. We will also notice and think about places that create strong emotions to learn more about their characters by using emotional moments in our books to learn more about our characters.
