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 “What kinds of things grow on a farm?”
2 New High Frequency Words: “he” and “with”
New sound/spellings/handwriting: /f/ Ff and /r/ Rr
*To reinforce high frequency words, phonics and fluent reading, please keep reading the decodable stories that are sent home (additional stories are in the Wonders Workbook coming home today). Thank you!
Vocabulary: fresh, delicious, beneath, raise, special
Math: Continued Lesson 14 “Compose and Decompose 10” and started Lesson 8 “2D Shapes”. 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: we will be exploring animal shelters and how animals seek safety in order to survive.
