     We will cover 2 units in the third trimester: 1) Communities; 2) Small Moments. Students will focus on one topic each week. For each week, we will name items, practice conversation, study words and grammars, read different genres, and learn to write frequent words and simple sentences. Students will be given a list of words and leveled readers to review at home.

1. Oral language: 1) increase understanding words, phrases, and simple sentences related to everyday life; 2) recognize pieces of information and sometimes understand the main topic of what is being dictated; 3) provide basic information about self, family and friends.
