Sneak Peek To Our Academic Week

MATH:  We are reviewing and working on math assessments this week. Next week, we will take our unit 5 math test on Tuesday so we can begin our new unit upon our return after Easter Break. Take a peek in their math books to review concepts they have learned in Unit 5.

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:  We have learned to look for vowel pairs/team in words such as ee, ea, oa, ou, oo, and ai. What sounds to these vowel pairs make?

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: Please continue to voice problems we may see in our community or world. This helps them write more during writing.

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 to the challenges the sort may bring to our group (review vocabulary at home or identifying different ways to sort). Next week, we will not have spelling words. We will return back to Words Sorts (spelling) upon our return from Easter Break.

RELIGION: Stations of the Cross/Palm Sunday

REMINDERS:
