It has been a busy week in the Panda room.  We are ready for Spring.  We made umbrella suncatchers for April showers.

Language Arts:  

 

We are working on  procedural writing "How To's".  They are  reading some "How To's" and writing them as well.   We have learned the different  characteristics of a "How To".  They usually contain photographs, they might have some words in bold, and they may have a glossary.  They are using the characteristics in their books.  We are also working on sight words and blending CVC words to make our reading more fluent.
