READING-Unit 8  Week 2  SEEDS AND PLANTS  

ORAL LANGUAGE-Building Background

COMPREHENSION STRATEGY-Recognize text structure

COMPREHENSION SKILL-Retelling

WRITING-We’ll write an Informational Book.

SPELLING- Thank you for your help at home with the spelling words.  Not only does it help your student to do well on the weekly tests, but it shows and teaches them good study habits and the importance of completing assignments.  In addition to our reading unit words,  we will be working with the “ug” chunk.  Look for some words in your daily/evening reading with your child.  Here’s this week’s list:

                              here  was  bug  hug  mug  tug  plug  plants

MATH-A Study Guide went home today…VERY easy.  I will be checking them next week for those concepts on the Study Guide.  Simple Addition/Subtraction, > < =, missing numbers in a sequence, 10 frames (back side of Guide).  Again, VERY easy!  The students are doing quite well in MATH and READING/WRITING.  Thanks Parents!

SCIENCE-Plants 🙂  What do plants need to live?  We’ll make a flip chart.

What grows from seeds?

What are some different ways seeds travel?  How do they get from here to                                   there?
