We will continue our Cinderella unit. We will be reading versions of Cinderella from Africa this week. As we read, we will make connections, compare and contrast, and identify key details in the text. We will also make observations from the common key elements in fairy tales.

We will also work on the following skills:

• homophones
• continued practice on making connections- understanding the order of events in a story or text
• compound words
• continued practice on main idea and key details

This week we begin our final 6 week session and groupings of Words Their Way.
