Handwriting/Writing

We will be discussing all the different pieces of information we've learned about the seasons from our Reading Module and write which season is our favorite and why. Their opinions may include weather words, holidays, clothing they were or fun activities they do during the season.

Math

This week we begin building the foundation for subtraction. The students will learn that the opposite of joining together is taking apart or take away. The class will learn about the subtraction sign and by the end of the week apply it to take away stories.

Science

We will continue to discuss sound this week. Students will be able to explain that sound is movement or a type of energy. We will discuss loud and soft sounds and how although we can't see the sound it makes vibrations.

Reading

Sight words for the week are: their, which, each and use. Our two Word Families are the -og and -ock family. Practice having your child make words that would belong in the families~ dog, rock, shock, blog, etc. Along with the CL- blend. Practice having your child think of words that would begin with the cl blend: class, clock, clown, etc.   Here is a slideshow I made for us to use in class. The words that have cl at the the beginning receive a thumbs up and ones that do not receive a thumbs down. :)

 We are continuing our Reading Module~ Seasons and Weather. We will be reading and discussing the seasons Summer and Autumn/ Fall. Then we will have an Aesop Fable about The Grasshopper and the Ants, and a lesson about what to do in Stormy weather- Safety in Storms.
 **Click on the titles above to reread the stories to your child. I underlined and bolded them in hopes they would stand out.**


Here is a stormy weather video we will be watching in class. It was provided by the district.
