The middle line is the "Plane Line" and the bottom line is called the "Grass Line."

- Concepts of Print - Print Direction
- Comprehension - identifying the setting and characters in a story
- Writing: Lately we've been focusing on how to sound out words and try to write them. We call this inventive spelling! When students ask for help on how to spell words I don't tell them, but instead help them "stretch" (say the word slowly) so that they can identify some letters to write down that they know. I accept all attempts and at this point in the year never correct their "spelling" even if they only write the first letter!
