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 “What happens in different kinds of weather?”
2 New High Frequency Words: “she” and “was”
New sound/spelling and handwriting: /k/ Kk and _ck (spelling for /k/ at the end of words)
*To reinforce high frequency words, phonics and fluent reading, please keep reading decodable stories that are sent home. Thank you!
Vocabulary: predict, temperature, clever, storm, drought
Math: Lesson 15 “Find number partners for 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: In our Read-Along lesson, a young girl notices all the holes in the trees around her house and sets out to discover how they got there, and why they matter. We explored how animals change their environments.
