Job 2: Complete the firstiephonics page by circling all of the long u words and writing them at the bottom. Job 3: Complete the ue crossword.

Sight Words

Please have students watch the introduction video for this week’s new words. The new words for the week are: over, may, some, take. Once they have finished the video they can write each word five times.

Math

This week we will be continuing working on addition to 20 and strategies that we can use to make addition easier. This week the strategy we will focus on is to find the ten and add to it. For example 9+5 is easier to figure out if you think of it as 10+4. This will be especially helpful for adding 8 and 9 to numbers as well as building number sense. Please have the students watch the introduction video. This will take some practice so we will be working on it all week. After the students watch the video they can complete the 3 math pages.

Science

Some interesting questions to ask your child after the experiment:

1. How long do you think the balloon will stay blown up?

2. How do you think we could blow up the balloon bigger?

3. What do you think would happen if we added more vinegar? more baking soda?

4. Do you think this experiment would work with water instead of vinegar?
