Week 9: 11/2 - 11/6

Parents, 

We have been talking about shadows in our light and sound unit. Please send your child in with a small flashlight that we can use on Thursday.  Your child can store it in the cubby until Thursday's science class.

Math: Addition and Subtraction within 20

• Note: It is expected at this point that first grade students are fluent in both addition and subtraction math facts within 10 as we are now moving to numbers within 20.

• Add or subtract tens or ones (review from Friday) - Examples: 10 + 6=___ // 16 - 6 = ___ // 10+ ___ = 19 // 19 - ___ = 10

• missing Numbers: 

9, ____, 11, ____  ///      20, 19, ___, ___, 16  ///        9, ___ , ___, 15, 17

• Addition & subtraction problems (using our math facts that first graders are expected to know). Please practice addition and subtraction within 10 if your child still struggles with this. We are now moing on.

16 + 3 =___ //   5 + 11 = ___ //   19 - 4 = ___ // 16 - 5 = ___

Literacy : Following the Literacy Essentials Program

• Phonograms 1-65

• Daily spelling words. Practice test is on Friday with teh master test next Friday (List 1B)

• Continue writing dictated sentences and doing the 5-finger check: 1) Does it have a subject? 2) Does it have a predicate (verb)? 3) Does it make sense? 4) Does it start with a capital letter? 5) Does it end with the correct end mark?

• 1:1:1 rule: words with one syllable, a single vowel followed by one consonant: double the consonant before adding -ed:   hop --> hopped

• Review silent final e jobs learned so far: 

• Job 1- makes the vowel say its name --> game 

• Job 2-is all about v and u (English words do not end in v or u) --> have , blue 

• Job 3- is all about c and g (Silent final e makes the c  say /s/ and also makes the g say /j/ )--> dance , nice, large, cage 

•  Jobs 4 -every syllable needs a vowel - little 

• Job 5- silent final e is added to show that the "s" in the word is not a suffix. It is part of the base word --> mouse

• Job 6 - Odd job 6 - At one time in the English language, the final e said something, but now he just hangs out at the end of the word --> are
