**Each word family has a home link that we ask you do with your child. The more they work with this skill, the better they will read! It will come home the first day we introduce a family. 

 Reading Skills: Main Idea and Supporting Details (Chapter 4)

Again, using the book What Are Some Rules at Home? the kids will:
~Ask questions about the text.
~Identify main ideas and supporting details.
~Learn about nonfiction text structures (description).
~Build oral language and vocabulary through whole-group discussion.
 Our storybook reader this morning is scheduled for 9:10 to read Room on the Broom.

Literacy Shelf

Again, the children select literacy-based activities off a shelf to increase skill development for letters, sounds, and words. 
               Writer's Workshop: Ask and Write
We are encouraging the children to ask questions of their partner's illustrations. The idea here is for the illustrator to possibly add more detail to their picture if something isn't clear to the person asking the questions.
 Music Day
 Party Activities

~Halloween Phonics Bingo
