Shared Reading
This week we read The Jolly Postman, Toot and Puddle and The Post Office Book. We discussed the different types of mail that were in these books. We also made a list of the kinds of mail we might want to write in our Writing Center. We read many Valentine chants this week. We talked about the v and f sounds. We also highlighted the following contractions: youre and Im. We know that youre is you are and Im is I am.
