There will be no school on Friday, May 26th. We wish all who are observing a very happy beginning of Ramadan!
There will be no school on Monday, May 29th in observance of Memorial Day! We are thankful for all the men and women who gave so much for our country.
The ABC Countdown continues!
Monday: I- We will enjoy icy pops. Tuesday: J – We will dance as we pump up the jam! Wednesday: K- ! We will play kick the ball. Thursday: L- We will pick our lollipops!
Spelling: Here are the words for this week. Please be sure to help your child practice EVERYDAY! The test is on next FRIDAY! Your child will be tested on three word family words and three sight words. * We will also give your child a “cold word” to spell. This is a word that follows the pattern of the word family. (an ex. is flag )
- bag
- tag
- rag
- had
- make
- say
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: friend walk took New words: way care 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 word problems. 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 animals. We will write three facts about animal as we practice starting our sentences in different ways. We will answer the following questions; What does your animal look like? Where does your animal live? What does your animal eat? You will be notified on the animal your child chose to research. Please help them find information at home for their animal too. We will be using informational books in class. 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!
Please see me if you can help with Field Day!!! Thank you!
