• Take part in daily Paired Fluency reading sessions to further develop our reading fluency
• Participate in Daily Reviews to expand our word knowledge and understanding
• Further develop our understanding of homophones 
• Read a variety of articles, giving our opinion based on our prior knowledge and evidence from the text, as well as listening to and respecting others opinions about the topic
• Join small purposeful reading groups to discuss, clarify and ask questions about the shared book we are reading with our peers. 

In Writing, we will:

• Continue to record in our Writer’s Notebook capturing our poems, letters, other created texts and moments that we experience in our everyday lives
