Writing
* What is your favorite animal? Draw a picture and label the body parts. Write 1 or 2 sentences about the animal. Ex: Butterflies eat nectar. They can fly.
* Read or listen to a non-fiction book about your favorite animal. If you do not have a non-fiction book you can find lots on YouTube. Just search non-fiction book about the animal you chose. Draw a picture and write one new thing you learned about the animal.
*Remember to use your sight word list to help you spell your sight words accurately. Continue to sound out unfamiliar words slowly so that you can record the sounds that you hear. Please leave a finger space between each word.
