Here’s a quick overview of new things we learned this week:
Comprehension strategy/skill: “Reread”/”Fact & Opinion” . We read different stories to go along with our theme “How are some animals alike and how are they different?”
2 New High Frequency Words (Power Words): “for” and “have“
New sound, spelling and handwriting: /u/ Uu
Vocabulary: appearance, behavior, exercise, plenty, wander
Math: Lesson 18: “Compose and Decompose 6 and 7”. 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 practiced identifying the relationships of the needs of animals and the places in which they live. After a review of the animals we’ve observed throughout the unit, students used observations of three new places to determine which of those places best meet the needs of each animal.
