Durante esta semana estaremos reforzando las palabras frecuentes los, las, unos y unas, promoviendo su reconocimiento y uso dentro de oraciones sencillas. También continuaremos trabajando los dígrafos ch y ll, enfatizando la identificación de su sonido, el trazo correcto y la lectura de palabras y oraciones cortas que los contengan. Con estas actividades buscamos afianzar la seguridad lectora y fortalecer el proceso de escritura de sus hijos.

En casa, pueden leer en compañía de un adulto el libro que contiene palabras con ch, reforzando su sonido y pronunciación. Además, pueden jugar a encontrar y leer la mayor cantidad de palabras con ll que aparezcan en el siguiente enlace. Estas actividades ayudarán a fortalecer la lectura y la seguridad al reconocer los dígrafos trabajados en clase. Libro con dígrafo Ch

Students are learning to identify the difference between needs and wants. They are sorting pictures, discussing real-life examples, and explaining their thinking using sentence frames like:

“This is a need because…”

“This is a want because…”

At home you can practice by asking your child to look around the house and name 3 needs and 3 wants. Talking about items at the grocery store and asking, “Is this a need or a want? Why?” and also having them draw and label one need and one want and explain their thinking.

Sometimes it can be challenging or uncomfortable for students to speak up, and this can prevent them from having their ideas, and needs heard, acknowledged, and addressed. In this lesson, students will practice communicating effectively and showing assertiveness by responding to scenarios where they have to decide if and how to speak up and speak kindly.

Encourage tigers to speak up assertively when they want their ideas to be heard.
