Here’s a quick overview of what we learned last week:
Comprehension strategy: “Ask and Answer Questions” . We read informational texts and a tale to go along with our theme “How do tools help us to explore?”
Review of High-Frequency Words: (please continue to practice) “see”, “we”, “I”, “can”, “the”, “a”)
Phonics: Sound and Spelling of Pp. Blending words with the letters: m, p, a, s, t.
Phonemic Awareness: How to produce the sounds: /th/ (as in feather), /k/, short /u/, and /d/. We look in the mirror to see how our mouth forms these sounds including what our tongue, teeth, and lips are all doing. We work all year on rhyming words, chunking words into syllables, first, middle and last sounds we hear in words, adding, taking away, and replacing words in compound words, and blending 2-4 sounds to make a word (consonant-vowel-consonant or CVC words), and breaking apart words into individual sounds.
Vocabulary: discover, defeated, fetch, tools, rumble.
Math: Lesson 5 “Make 3, 4, and 5”. Numbers can be thought of as being made up of a combination of other numbers. Thinking of numbers this way will help prepare students for adding and subtracting numbers.
