a_e in sentences

1. Read the a_e words from this week again, then read them in sentences: on the decodable page, or in three short sentences you write.
2. New sight words: “but” and “get”. These are read by sight, not sounded out. Write each on a card and read the cards every day this week.

Read-aloud: The Crow and the Pitcher

1. Read “The Crow and the Pitcher” aloud. Give the characters different voices; it helps a young listener follow who is talking.
2. This is an old tale, told for a long time. Afterward, ask: what did someone in the story learn?
