Here’s a quick overview of new things we learned this week:

Comprehension strategy/skill: “Reread”/”Character, Setting, Events”. We read different stories to go along with our theme “What do living things need to grow?”

New High Frequency Word: “my”

Phonics:blend and isolate sounds in CVC words.New sound/spelling: /h/ Hh

Vocabulary: require, plant, harmful, soak, crowd

Math: Unit 3 Math in Action (Review of Shapes and Adding and Subtracting within 5)

Science: We are keeping track of the weather and how it changes. Students are bringing home a “weather window”. Each day for 4 days, they can note three things about the weather. Is it sunny, cloudy, or partly cloudy? Is it hot, cold, or mild (somewhere in between)? Is it rainy, snowy, or dry?You can encourage your child to notice the weather by asking them about it. What was the weather like today? Did you play outside during recess? Was it sunny or cloudy? Was it hot or cold, rainy or dry?
