Reading Next week we will read aloud It Could Still be a Worm, by Allan Fowler. This book is a simple introduction to the earthworm, roundworm, flatworm, and other kinds of worms. We will also read aloud Plants that Eat Animals, by Allan Fowler. A variety of carnivorous plants, including Venus's-flytrap, sundew, pitcher plant, and bladderwort are described. The comprehension strategies and skills will focus on main idea and details, and wondering to make sense of a non fiction text.
Language Arts Our grammar lesson will focus on proper nouns and compound words. We will also revisit dictionary skills.
