Theme: Fall and Thanksgiving!
Reading:  This week we will continue to enjoy fall and Thanksgiving stories!  We will identify characters, setting, and problem.  We will retell using story arcs. We will continue to utilize the cognitive skill of mental imaging while listening to stories.  This skill will help us add details to our writing!
Writing:  This week we will make literacy connections to Thanksgiving stories while using these stories as a basis for our own individual book making/writing. The children will focus on use of capitals, periods, and appropriate spacing as we write about Pilgrims, Native American, and traditions!  We will continue to add details to make our writing more interesting.  We will also use letter sound knowledge to make lists.  For example, we will make a list of what we want to eat on Thanksgiving!
