September 24-28, 2018 Weeks 6 and 7

Hi Everyone!  We have been super busy in class learning how to write a complete sentence, reading and practicing sight words, practicing addition facts, identifying properties of matter and we will finish up our science unit by identifying the three states of matter (liquid, solid, gas).

This week in Reading our Interactive and Shared Reading will be books... One of Each, The Sky is Falling, Chicken Licken, The Magic Rabbit, and Silly Fun poems.
We will discuss the difference between fantasy and real life; distinguish between a funny or serious poem; listen for and brainstorm rhyming words; recognize an Exclamatory sentence; read words with short u and final blends.

In Math we will subtract numbers from 10 and learn to count back.  

In Science we will complete our unit on Matter and identify the Three States of Matter.  We will be able to recognize if an object is a liquid, solid, or a gas.

In Social Studies we will discuss Good Citizens such as Benjamin Franklin, Francis Scott Key and Eleanor Roosevelt.

September 10-14, 2018 Weeks 4 & 5

Hi everybody!  I hope you're enjoying this rain and cooler temperatures.  It's sleepy time for me.  :)

Last week I didn't post but I will catch you up on some things that we did in class.  We worked hard on identifying and inferring  characters feelings in a story; blending and decoding short o words; we discussed and recognized the subject and predicate parts of a sentence.  We learned that the subject is who or what the sentence is about while the predicate is the action part of the sentence.  In Math we compared numbers and learned the greater than, less than, equal to symbols.  We learned a little trick that helps us to remember that the alligator always eats the greater number.  We started Science and observed clouds.  We understand that clouds hold the water that causes rain.  We learned the Water Cycle Song.

This week we will read ""Sitting Down to Eat" and "The Goose that Got Loose."  Both books are rhyming texts and we will listen for rhyming words in the story.  We will make predictions about the stories; discuss new vocabulary heard in the stories; read plural -s words; inflectional -ing words; discuss abc order; and main idea and details in a story.

We will start AR this week.  I will send home your child's AR username and password once we get started with this in class.  You can test at home as well.  It's an online reading resource so the internet is needed.

In Math we will use manipulatives to add and subtract numbers to 10.   We will use blocks, and other objects to help us add and subtract.

In Science we will discuss Properties and Patterns.  We will describe an objects properties such as its size, texture, sound, etc.
