Week
of November 27th-30th
Our Reading story for
the week is “Jack and the Beanstalk”.
Our question of the week is: How are real
and make believe plants alike and different? The Amazing Words for this
story are: beanstalk, ogre, naughty, lad,
magic, lend. The high frequency words are: he, for. The text based comprehension skill is realism and fantasy. We will listen for /i/ spelled Ii at the beginning and middle of a word. We will focus
on the correct formation of Ii. We will listen for sounds in the middle
position of a word. Please practice reading the “Sam, Sit!” decodable story. *Each decodable story can be
recorded for the monthly Reading Logs. J
Here are a few things we have been working on in school that you can continue
to practice at home:
·
Rapidly name as many letters as
possible in 1 minute. (Goal is about 35-40.)
·
Say the first sound in a word. Ex: You
say “what is the first sound in fish?”, child should say /f/.
·
Segment words into sounds. Ex: You
say, “tell me the sounds in fish.”, child should say /f/ /i/ /sh/. We have been
practice using our body to help us for beginning, middle and end. Students
should know to use their head, shoulders, and waist to help say sounds in
words.
In Math, we will continue
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.
·
Identify numbers 0-100.
In Social Studies, we
will discuss our world around us and begin to learn about holidays around the
world.
