MATH
“Pete the Cat” is helping us master the following benchmark: Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes and describe the relevant positions of these objects
using terms such as above, below, next to, beside, in front of and behind. Here is the story we used to practice using the vocabulary above. ABOVE!! That’s one of our words. :)
Enjoy!
ELA
The sight words we are focusing on are from, their, which and each. During skills we are doing lots of sound work!! We will practice rhyming through word families. The word family for this week is -ake. (Practice asking your child what words rhyme with "cake." Please make sure all their responses are real words~ do not accept pretend words like "hake" or "zake" as an answer.) We will continue practicing segmenting words (or as we all like to say in class "chopping up words"), producing ending sounds for words (PLEASE make sure your child knows that ending means last. I had lots of mistakes made on the test because of this confusion.), writing lowercase letters and substituting sounds for words at the beginning (ex hat~ change the /h/ to a /m/ and the new word is mat.)
Our Reading lessons will be about identifying the reasons an author gives to support their ideas in texts. (The students really need to listen to the stories to be able to do this!!) The topic is gardening. We will hear about animals in the gardens that can be pests and the ones that can be helpful. We will also hear about how gardening can be easy.
Our Writing lessons will be to write an opinion piece about School. Students will be expected to give a minimum of two reasons that support their opinion. They will need to illustrate their reasons and then write sentences to match them. We are REALLY stressing using sounds and spaces!! We are expecting students to write most/to all of the sounds they hear.
The books we will be reading are online and I'm unable to post them here. I couldn't post without including a video...So I found a Youtube video that is on our topic and will peak their interests. :)
Enjoy!

SCIENCE
As
we continue to observe and discuss the day and night sky we will look
closely at our daytime sky. This week we will focus on shadows. What are
shadows and where do they come from? Try shadow making at home.
Turn the lights off, get a flashlight and get to work making some
shadows! This is a great way to spend some time with the family! Have
fun! Be on the lookout for science homework this week.
