Reading: This week we will preview material for our next unit, as we continue to dive deeper into reading fiction with more difficult text.
Phonics: There will not be an assessment this week. This week we will practice encoding words with "er" and "est". Language Arts: We continue to work on capitalization of holidays, product names, and geographic names. Writing: We are working on the elements of writing a friendly letter. Math: We are continuing unit 3. If you would like to look over what we are learning in this unit, please visit the "curriculum" tab, math, enhanced unit 3 parent letter. It will explain all the standards in this unit and how your child will learn the material. We are working on identifying bills and counting collections of $1, $5, $10, and $20 bills. We will also be solving word problems involving bills. PLEASE continue to practice counting collections of coins - 1c, 5c, 10c, and 25c. This is a difficult skill for many. Students did not have this content in first grade and there were minimal standards for counting money in K. Ask your child to show you how to use "touch points" in order to count all coins by 5s. Science: This week we will assess students on Force and Motion. Reading: We will take the Unit 3 Reading assessment on Friday, December 10th. We will cover theme, character traits, how characters respond to problems, point of view, and recounting stories.
Phonics: Red words: who, put, from, my Red words need to be read fluently and spelled correctly. This week we are learning that /ew/, /ue/, /ui/ all make the long /u/ sound as in flew, blue, and juice. Language Arts: We continue to work on capitalization of holidays, product names, and geographic names. Writing: We are working on writing about holidays around the world Math: We are continuing unit 3. If you would like to look over what we are learning in this unit, please visit the "curriculum" tab, math, enhanced unit 3 parent letter. It will explain all the standards in this unit and how your child will learn the material. This week, we will learn to recognize coins, identify their values, and count change.. It would be beneficial to review the coins with your child, so they can identify pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. We'll teach them how to count the coins, but learning how to identify coins is the first step. There are fun ways to do this: search for coins around the house (couch, laundry, under the bed, etc.), dump out the coins from your pockets or wallets, or dump out coins from junk drawers. Have your child tell you the coin and it's value. Have them sort them into piles of quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies. Make it fun for them. Science: We continue out unit on force and motion. Have your child give you an example of a push and a pull. Let them tell you what they've learned about friction. |
