Writing: Realistic Fiction Unit. We will be writing stories that could happen in real life with characters who experience the world (emotions, situations, etc.) the same way we do.
Phonics: We will be learning about “magic e,” when an e at the end of a word makes the vowel say its name (the long sound). We will be learning about how y can make the /e/ sound. We will also be learning about how c and g can make soft sounds; c sometimes makes the /s/ sound (cent) and g sometimes makes the /j/ sound (gentle).
