Here’s a quick overview of new things we learned this week:
Comprehension strategy/skill: “Visualize”/”Events: Sequence”. We read different stories to go along with our theme “How are the seasons different?”
2 New High Frequency Words: “is” and “llittle“
New sound/spellings/handwriting: /b/ Bb and /l/ Ll
*To reinforce high frequency words, phonics and fluent reading, please keep reading decodable stories that are sent home. Thank you!
Vocabulary: weather, seasons, migrate, active, spot (as in: notice or find something)
Math: 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).
