I see some grass and feel some warmth from the sun…come on Spring!!

READING-We begin Unit 8  PLANTS

This week’s theme is How Trees Grow. We’ll be working with Sequencing with recalling stories and events.  We’ll also focus on sequencing with this week’s writing.  First, Next, Then, Last

LETTERS-K  k     ck

WORDS-Little   little     said

We will work with the ot chunk and I’ve added a word to go with our reading unit-plants.

So, this week’s Spelling Words are:  little  said  hot  not  pot  cot  plants

WRITING-We will be writing Steps in a Process.

For example, Steps to make a Sandwich

First, you get some bread.

Next you spread on peanut butter.

Then you spread on jelly.

Last, you eat it.

Try some steps at home…Steps to get Ready For Bed, For School, To Go To Grandma’s House, To Eat Cereal

You don’t have to write down everything.  Just talking through the steps is good practice for sequencing the thoughts/steps.

MATH-We’ll be doing some worksheets with Missing Numbers to 20.  We’ll also play a Dice Addition Game with partners.

SCIENCE-Of course, we’ll plant some seeds.

SOCIAL STUDIES-We’ll talk about jobs that are related to Plants.

Tuesday is St. Patrick’s Day so we’ll be celebrating the “Holiday” in here.  Wear something GREEN.  🙂

Wednesday is Library Book Day and Trial Spelling Test(so they’ll know what words need a little extra practice and study. )  Check out Spell City link on my blog.  It’s a good chance to practice this week’s words.

Friday is Final Publishing of this week’s Writing and Final Spelling Test.

Lots of fun and I’m sure we’ll finally get some recess time!

Have a good week.
