Homework

• Reading Log: Read 20 min. a day (at least 5 times a week)
• Practice new word sort. Go over word patterns with your child. A reminder that test day may change due to extra time needed to review sort.

Sneak Peek To Our Academic Week

MATH:  We are working on using the signs <,> or =. We have worked on finding out how much money does he have and how much more? Look on page 92 in your child’s math book. This is a hard concept to grasp so please practice at home.  We will learn in and out (input and output). Take a look at page 103 and 105 to understand this new concept we are learning. Next week, I will send a math packet to review our new concept.

What to review in math:

* identify value of coins (dime/nickel/penny/quarter) DDNP=26 cents QP=26 cents

*Telling time to the hour and half hour. 

*greater/less than and equal to

*writing numbers to 120

*simple addition & subtraction to 20 (7+3/6+5/10-3/13-5/10+10/20-12)

READING/PHONICS:  

Use Snap Words to Read: 

• Read words you know in a snap! (sight words)
• Read the words you know and thhink “What would make sense here?”
• Does this remind me of another work I know?
• Turn new words into snap words (learn a new sight word)
• Scoop up words to make your reading smooth

 Our phonics unit will focus on being word detectives even with isolated words (sight words) not just reading. 

The CASE of the silent E:

• The e is at the end of the workd.
• The e doesn’t make a sound.
• It changes the a to a long sound: tap—–tape
• Watch out for works like have/love/come

Writing: We have started our persuasive writing. We are thinking about ways to solve problems at school, at home, or in our world. We can make a poster/write a letter/write about it to make a change. We have identified problems so now we will begin writing reasons or ways to make the change (WHY?). 

Here are a few topics we plan to write about:

*paper towels should be placed in the trash can/make your bed/clean your room/don’t litter/walk to the restroom

SPELLING/WORD SORT:  Look in their planner for the spelling words. Spelling test usually on Monday.  Don’t be surprised next week. Some students will keep their same sort due the challenges the sort may bring to our group (review vocabulary at home or identifying different ways to sort).

RELIGION: Stations of the Cross

REMINDERS:

Please make sure you look at our school website for any school activities or assemblies. 

*Free/Free Dress on Wednesday to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.

*Friday, March 19th: 11:30 dismissal. Everyone is a ZOOMIE on Friday.
