MATH

After several great weeks learning about 2-D and 3-D shapes we are starting a new unit on addition and subtraction. I want you to see the Florida benchmarks we will be mastering in the upcoming months. 

MAFS.K. OA.1.2	Solve addition and subtraction word problems and add and subtract within 10.
MAFS.K. OA.1.4	For any number from 1-9, find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number.
MAFS.K. OA.1.5	Fluently add and subtract within 5
MAFS.K. OA.1.a	Use addition and subtraction within 10 to solve word problems with both addends unknown.

This week’s homework packet will include addition flashcards for addition facts to 5. After teaching 2nd grade for 3 years I have experienced first hand how important it is for students to know their facts fluently.

And for some fun enjoy this addition video! 

ELA
The sight words we are focusing on are use, there, when and were.  During skills we are doing lots of sound work!! We will practice rhyming through word families. The word family for this week is -it. (Practice asking your child what words rhyme with "kit." Please make sure all their responses are real words.) We will continue practicing segmenting words (or as we all like to say in class "chopping up words"), producing ending sounds for words, writing lowercase letters and substituting sounds for words at the beginning (ex big~ change the /b/ to a /w/ and the new word is wig.)

Our Reading lessons will be about identifying the reasons an author gives to support their ideas in text and a Second Step lesson is about Emotion Management~ ways to calm ourselves down when we get upset.  Our Writing lessons will be to write an opinion piece about someone in our family. 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 and ALL sight words that we have learned in class to be written correctly. 

SCIENCE
We are revisiting shadows this week. Last weeks weather did not cooperate as I would have liked for some fun shadow observing activities! So we will try, try again!
