Snow Day At Home Learning
Please refer to the Snow Day Packet we sent home a few weeks ago (Screenshot below). The two assignments we sent home Tuesday (journal and math worksheet) can replace 1 ELA activity and 1 Math activity on the “Snow Day Choice Mat”. Please email me if your student chooses to do Nearpod and needs their current code or if you have any questions. You might also consider working on the following:
- Power Words: know how to read and write “said” and “want”
- Practice and record yourself reading today’s story found on SeeSaw (go through Clever)

What We Are Learning
We are currently working on Unit 5 in Language Arts. Here are the power words, oral vocabulary words, letters, and sounds we will be mastering during this unit. We are continuing to work on handwriting and blending sounds to read words. We are reading decodable passages and recording our reading on SeeSaw. Watch for the decodable passages in the student take home folders and invite your child to read to you.
In math, we are counting to 100 by 10’s and 1’s. We will begin addition after the holiday break. We continue to work on our individual math pathways (on Nearpod). We enjoy celebrating and ringing the class bell as each child masters a standard.
Finally, in science we will begin our Seasons unit. We will discuss what to wear for different types of weather and explore the season cycles.
