Reading Street Unit 4
The theme of Unit 4 in Reading Street is “Our Changing World – How do things change? How to they stay the same?” In our world, things change every day (people learn new things, children grow bigger, plants die or seeds grow). Sometimes change is hard (moving, changing schools, not being able to do things you used to do). Almost everything changes (living things, nonliving things, feelings, hopes, dreams).
We will continue to review phonics patterns, as well as, continuing our routines for whole group instruction and literacy centers.
