Reading: We are practicing many reading strategies. This week we will practice asking and answering questions about a story using characters, setting, and story sequencing. We will identify when we do not know a word. We will practice asking questions to gain understanding of this unknown word. We will practice using illustrations in the book to help better understand the story. In addition, we will practice decoding words with controlled r. (ex. ar says Arrrr like a pirate) Please practice the following sight words: (These are words your child needs to recognize and read by sight.)
Review: her help girl New words: went want good
Math: We will practice composing numbers less than and equal to 10 in more than one way. (ex. 7=3+4, 2+5=7, 1+6=7)
Science: We will continue a unit about living and non-living things. We will continue to distinguish between what is living and what is non-living. We are currently studying snails and fish!
Social Studies: We will review and test the children on the concepts from our unit “Where am I?” The children will be tested on position words, reading a map, understanding maps and globes, and describing places in their environment, as well as identifying needs that are provided by the earth.
Writing: This week we will review and practice opinion writing. We will write about our favorite animals this week. We will also write our opinions and provide two reasons why we like our animal. Please practice stretching for the sounds and using finger spaces between words with your child each day for homework. These writing skills are very important for moving into first grade.
Thank you for all you do!
Have a wonderful evening!
Be safe driving if you need to go out! 🙂
