Decodable Reader:
Decodable Reader:
The Reader for this unit is The Cat Bandit. The stories tell of the adventures of a hungry cat and the increasingly clever ways he gets food items seemingly out of his reach. The stories in this Reader are 100% decodable, meaning they are made up entirely of spellings and Tricky Words introduced or reviewed in class during previous lessons. The stories are short and quite simple. They're designed to help students ease back into reading. Students will engage in Whole Group reading, Small Group reading, Partner reading, and Independent reading with this Reader.

AMPLIFY KNOWLEDGE: We will begin Domain 5 - The War of 1812 this week. This domain will introduce students to an important period in the history of the United States—the time during the War of 1812. The War of 1812 is, perhaps, best remembered as the war that gave birth to “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Students will also learn why the War of 1812 is often called America’s second war for independence. Students will learn how the United States was affected by the Napoleonic Wars between France and Great Britain. They will learn about James and Dolley Madison, and their direct connection to the War of 1812. Students will learn about Great Britain’s three-part plan to win back the United States. This includes attacks on Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, and the Battle of New Orleans. This domain will build the foundation for learning about Westward Expansion, The U.S. Civil War, and Immigration later in Grade 2 as well as for learning about other periods of American history in later grades.

📏MATH: We will continue Unit 3 - Patterns Within Numbers this week. The unit begins by counting by 1's, and hundred charts are used to allow students to explore each hundred set between 100 and 1,000. Number charts and lines are used to help students identify patterns when skip-counting by 5's, 10's, and 100's. Students will also explore the idea of even and odd numbers. This unit will take about 3 weeks to complete.
