MATH
This week, students will continue their learning with unit 3. This unit targets using math vocabulary such as; greater, larger, bigger, more, less than, least, fewer, smaller to compare and describe two given amounts.
At home encourage students to use this language when describing amounts. Practicing having students count items by touching one item for each number they count, this is called 1 to 1 correspondence. This impacts students most during this portion of the year. Have students count to 50 or beyond. Students must count through the decades (20,30,40, 50,60, etc.) without hesitating to be considered proficient.
SOCIAL STUDIES
Students will finish learning about cultures and we will shift our focus back to science midweek. In Science we will begin our unit on force and motion beginning with the way things move and positional words.
PHONICS & LANGUAGE COMPREHENSION
This week students will meet the letter name and sounds for e and u. Students will learn both the long and short sounds for these vowels.
At home continue practicing hearing sounds in words (video support above) and writing letters correctly (writing pages available in the resources tab).
For reading comprehension students will finish reading Me on the Map and be assessed on their understanding of key details from the text.
WRITING
In writing, students are writing to share their opinion on books or topics. Students are given a topic and asked to share their opinion. Students will be assessed on their ability to share their opinion in writing this week.
At home have students practice writing the sounds they hear In words- even if the spelling is incorrect. For example If they are writing "hair" they might spell it "har". We have not learned all of these spelling patterns or sounds yet so spelling does not need to be correct.
Have students write the words ten, pin, pen, tug, mug, cup, den. You say the word, they write the sounds they hear. These words should be spelled correct since we have learned these sounds In class.
LEADER IN ME
LEADER IN ME
