Here’s a quick overview of new things we learned this week:
Comprehension strategy/skill: “Make, confirm, and revise predictions” and “cause and effect”. We read different stories to go along with our theme “Where do animals live?”
New High Frequency Words (Power Words): “said” and “want” (know how to spell “said”)
New sound, spelling and handwriting: /v/ Vv and /x/ Xx
Vocabulary: complain, habitat, join, stubborn, wild
Math: Completed Lesson 19 “Compose and Decompose 8 and 9” and started Lesson 20 “Add Within 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 that plants and animals are alive! We observed that all living things must meet certain needs to stay healthy. You can ask your child to show you how a plant grows bigger and healthier when it gets enough water and sunlight.
