Week of October 15th-19th  

Our Reading story for the week is “Flowers”. Our question of the week is: How are flowers unique? The Amazing Words for this story are: seeds, fruits, buds, stem, bloom, petals. The high frequency words are: have, is. The text based comprehension skill is compare and contrast. We will listen for /a/ spelled Aa at the beginning and middle of a word. We will focus on the correct formation of Aa. Please practice reading the “I Have!” decodable story. *Each decodable story can be recorded for the monthly Reading Logs. J Please be sure to practice letter naming and sight words daily. All students were tested on sight words last week. Be sure to check your child’s folder to see what list they have completed. Please use the flashcards that were enclosed in the plastic sleeve at the beginning of the school year to practice learning these words.

In Math, we will continue to sort and classify 2-D and 3-D shapes. Last week, we learned about a triangle and square. We used the vocabulary words: sides, vertices or corners, and straight or curvy lines. Please practice number fluency each night as well as writing numbers 0-10.

In Science, we will continue discussing the seasons and focusing in on changes in Fall. We will learn about the lifecycle of a pumpkin this week as we did not get to it last week.
