We will study many authors this year. We will study Laura Numeroff, Jan Brett and Eric Carle indepth. These authors have their own websites. You and your child can visit the websites to find out more about the authors. They have wonderful activities. We will study Laura Numeroff during the fall, Jan Brett starting in December and continuing throughout the school year, and last we will study Eric Carl in the Spring.
Books We Will Read This Month:
Popcorn words are sight words your child will learn to read this year. Popcorn words are called this because they are words that "pop" up in our daily reading. Check back monthly for new words. Practice reading these words. Make flashcards, point them our in stories you read together, and practice writing them.
