I hope everyone had a great weekend! We will be sending home sight word list 8 some time this week. Here's a look at what we will be learning:
Spalding: We
are so close to learning all of our phonograms, this week we will learn ei and
eigh. To ensure readiness for 1st grade we are increasing our weekly spelling
words to 10. Our words will be: ago, old, bad, red, of, be, but,
this, all, you. As we increase in difficulty
it is imperative that you are assisting your child with
their homework and checking for accuracy. Thank you for your support!
Literature: Our
story for this week will be The Little Red Hen. We will discuss the importance
of hard work and working together. In the afternoon we will channel our inner
Red Hen and make bread! We will spend some time working on rhyming words
and beginning, middle, and end sounds. Our poem will be At the Seaside.
Math: We will begin learning subtraction this week. Students will
explore subtraction problems through a variety of manipulatives, pictorial
representations, and word problems. They will learn new math vocabulary as well
as learn that the “-“ symbol means to “take away”. They will also be able to
read subtraction problems in vertical and horizontal format.
History: We are continuing our unit on the Presidents of the
United States this week. We will learn a cute song to learn the names of the
presidents. Students will be introduced to Thomas Jefferson and they will
discover that he helped write the Declaration of Independence. We will learn
that Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president and that he helped free
the slaves in America and that Teddy Roosevelt won a Nobel Peace Prize. We will
end the week by learning about our current President, Donald Trump.
