MATH

We are taking the addition we learned and applying it to a new benchmark.

MAFS.K.OA.1.2: Solve addition and subtraction word problems and add and subtract within 10.  The students will learn different strategies to solve problems. Continue practicing math facts at home! They are getting really quick with their answers!!

ELA

The sight words we are focusing on are very, after, things and good. Make sure to practice letter sounds daily with your child- use lowercase letter cards. The word family for this week is -in. (Only make real words... not pretend words.) Our blend for the week is fl-. We will continue practicing segmenting words, producing medial sounds for words (we will focus this week and next week on the I sound= short I~fig and long I~bike), substituting sounds for words at the end.

 

 Our Reading lessons will be about identifying similarities and differences about a topic. (Last week we compared two stories that all the girls LOVED... so this week I thought I would gear our books towards the boys. :) Hope they enjoy it!) We are comparing and contrasting two machines: Dump Trucks and Backhoes.

     

Our Second Step lesson is about Problem Solving. :) We will focus on resolving conflicts with others to find a solution that both people can agree with. I searched for a video on Youtube and I was able to find a ton, but I really liked The Berenstain Bears! Enjoy!

 Our Writing lessons will be comparing something with yourself. We will use the sentence started We are different because.... The students have done great sharing similarities between themselves and others, so I know they'll be great at this too!! Make sure your child writes using all their sounds (words need to be written with a beginning, middle and ending sound) and sight words. Along with spaces and punctuation.  

 SCIENCE
We are working on a new benchmark this week : SC.K.14.2 Recognize that some books and other media portray animals and plants with characteristics and behaviors they do not have in real life. We will have fun comparing real animals and plants with imaginary animals and plants. I am sure the children will have fun with this science benchmark.
