HANDWRITING/ WRITING

We are completing handwriting by writing our weekly sight words, writing words for the word families and then writing CVC or CVCe words.
We are continuing our Memory Books. :)

MATH 
This week we are working on decomposing and composing teen numbers and representing the numbers with equations. For example: 14 is 1 group of tens and 4 extra ones or 10+4=14. The students are excited to use their addition skills with teen numbers!


SCIENCE
We are comparing real pigs and pretend pigs this week using the story "Pigsty". Here is the story link so you can enjoy it at home. It's a fun story and a great way to illustrate ways pretend pigs are very different from real ones. At the end of the week we will look at sea creatures and how pretend and real creatures are very different too!

READING 
Our Sight Words for the week are too and also. Our Word Families are: -ide and -ine. Our blend is sk, here is the slideshow we will be using. We are reviewing all Medial Vowel sounds. We will discuss whether it's a short one or long one using this slideshow.  Then end by writing CVC and CVCe words.
We are continuing our Module on Earth. :) Our stories are: Composting,   Pollution,   Air Pollution   and   Willy the Water Drop. The students are doing great at remembering what  the 3R's  are (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) and using the vocabulary we have learned to discuss the Earth.
