Reading: We are practicing many reading strategies. We will continue to identify reasons an author gives for supporting details about a topic. We will also continue to practice identifying similarities and differences between two texts on the same topic. In addition, we will practice flipping the vowel sound in words. (ex. the o on hop is short o, but the o in hope is long o and says its name.) Please practice the following sight words: (These are words your child needs to recognize and read by sight.)
Review: read baby mother father New words: sister brother again
Math: We will continue learn about place value as we compose and decompose teen numbers. (ex. 16 is one group of 10 and 6 extra ones). We will also take a computation test on addition and subtraction up to 5. Please practice math facts.
Science: We will continue our science explorations. We will explore trees and their parts as well as weather!
Social Studies: We will continue to talk about ways to work with the common good to solve problems in our classroom and in our community.
Writing: This week we will practice informational writing about living things and their needs. We will write three facts about our topic as we practice starting our sentences in different ways. Please practice writing sentences with your child each day. Be sure they are using finger spaces between words, stretching for sounds, and using sight words correctly.
Thank you for all you do! I would like to wish all of the moms, aunts, and grandmas a very lovely and happy Mother’s Day!
