LETTER REVIEW
Today is I day. This is a lowercase i and this is the capital I. The letter i makes the /i/ sound as in it. I is a vowel. Do you remember what sound the short vowel i makes? How about the long vowel i with a magic e?
Next, write a list of words that begin with the letter i.

*Families- In this lesson students will be listening to a story called “The Great Graph Contest” by Loreen Leedy. Take time to stop and discuss the variety of graphs and data available throughout the story.
For example, on pages 12-13 ask,
“Which cookie is the favorite? How do we know?” After reading through the book go back to page 9, ask, “Is it easy to understand if there are more smooth or rough rocks? No, we need to make them into vertical towers!” Today you are going to try to make your own rock graph. You will sort your own rocks into towers! Go outside and collect about 12 rocks. Sort your rocks into two categories. Sort them right onto your floor or table! Build them into a graph! What two ways did you sort by? It could be by color, size, or whether they are smooth or rough rocks! Use a piece of paper or Post It note to label the number of rocks in each tower. Which category had the most rocks? Which had the least? Great work, kindergarteners! reading

Using the Word Because
Opinionators! We have been working hard on writing opinion stories. Today I want to talk to you more about the why when it comes to opinion stories. Why do we share our opinion? We share our opinions when we like something and when we don’t like something. We give our opinion so others understand our thoughts. When we have strong thoughts about something we often need to explain ourselves. For example, if I told you I did not like candy, you might think that was silly so I would need to further explain. I could say, I do not like candy because it can give me cavities. Did you hear the word ‘because’ in that sentence? The word ‘because’ helps to further explain your thoughts. Be sure to check out our ‘because’ poster below!
Let’s try one out together. You will share your opinion on dogs vs. cats. Which do you like and explain more using the word ‘because.’
Today I am going to model my opinion story and use the word to explain my thoughts. I am going to write about my favorite place to go. I like the park because I can smell fresh flowers. Why is the park my favorite place? Yes, because I can smell fresh flowers. Turn to your family member or pet and tell them your favorite place to go. Be sure to add in the word ‘because’ to further explain why it is your favorite. Today as you begin writing, I want you to think about that word ‘because’ and how you can add it into your story. *Families- Try and encourage your learner to share a hook for their story. If they are unable to put their hook into written words, have them orally state their story’s hook. popcorn words
