Sneak Peek To Our Academic Week

MATH:  Unit 6: We are learning to add coins using quarters.

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: 

Reading a NONFICTION BOOK:

What is the book teaching you?

What did you learn?

What did other things are you wondering about after reading the book?

We are reading nonfiction and remembering the information we have learned. We are telling our friends about what we learned. Always share new information so you can retain the information.

Writing: 

Persuasive Writing: The focus this week is taking a look at our writing. Ask yourself:

Do you have punctuation marks?

Did you begin with a capital letter?

Did I write all the sounds in the word?

Did I spell my sight words correctly like was, they, the….?

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 have our first School Mass on Wednesday with students only.

REMINDERS:
