Week of November 19th-21st       

*We will continue with our story from last week!

Our Reading story for the week is “A Bed for Winter”. Our question of the week is: What kind of home does an animal need? The Amazing Words for this story are: nest, stump, hive, meadow, tree trunk, den. The high frequency words are: he, for. The text based comprehension skill is sequence. We will listen for /i/ spelled Ii at the beginning and middle of a word. We will focus on the correct formation of Ii. Please practice reading the “Tim the Pig” 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. 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 our next unit, Numbers 11-20. Here are a few things we have been working on in school that you can continue to practice at home:

·         Count to 100 every night. Be sure to count the “teen” numbers correctly.
·         Ask your child the next number. Ex: You say 23, your child should say 24. You say 66, your child should say 67. Do this multiple times for numbers to 100.
·         Show two dice or dominoes and have your child tell the greater number and what it is. Your child should be able to point and quickly tell you how many dots there are for the greater number.

In Social Studies, we will finish our unit learning about the Pilgrims and Indians/Native Americans. I hope you like the vests and head bands that came today. I think they turned out fantastic. J Be on the lookout for items coming home tomorrow.

Reminder: When we have a school day cancelled or a 3-hour delay, those days do not count as a rotation day.

·         11/27 School Resumes
