Here’s a quick overview of new things we learned this week:
Comprehension strategy/skill: “Reread”/”Topic and Details”. We read different stories to go along with our theme “How do living things change as they grow?”
New High Frequency Word: “are”
New sound/spelling/handwriting: /e/ Ee
Vocabulary: develop, amazing, enormous, imagine, content
Math: Lesson 14 “Compose and Decompose 10”. We’ve also been working on one of our standards to fluently add and subtract within 5 (numbers in the problem and answers are 5 or less). You can help us achieve this goal by practicing these math facts with us. Click here for flashcards you can print at home: Adding/Subtracting Flashcards. To be considered fluent, students need to answer 25 problems within a minute. (Flashcards include adding and subtracting within 10, which is also a standard, but we first practice for fluency within 5).
Science: This week, we learned about animals and their survival needs. Our lesson was called, “Why does a woodpecker peck wood?” We learned how every animal has the need to find food. When we see animals in the wild, very often they are looking for food.
