Sneak Peek To Our Academic Week

MATH:  Unit 6 Fact Families/Turn around facts/adding and subtracting

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. 

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

READING/PHONICS:  We begin our new unit on Nonfiction reading. We have learned to look for vowel pairs/teams 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 word.
  • The e doesn’t make a sound.
  • It changes the a to a long sound: tap—–tape NOT ONLY for the letter Aa but other vowels too!
  • Watch out for works like have/love/come

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?). 

SPELLING/WORD SORT:  Look in their planner for the spelling words. The spelling test will be on Monday.  Remember some groups get their words for two weeks if needed.

RELIGION: We will visit our church a few times before we begin attending school mass on April 28th.
