Please REVIEW ALL SNAP WORDS Practice reading them, as well writing them in sentences. Ex. How did my dog get up on the bed? Reading: Our Avid Readers are continuing to build their love for reading and their stamina this week. Students will brainstorm ways that they can keep themselves from getting distracted as they read. How can you help yourself read more?
Avid Readers are always looking for ways to grow. They can set goals for themselves. Our readers will be looking back at the Super Readers Anchor Chart from the previous unit to set goals and ways to grow now! Writing: Students will continue to write persuasive writing using their own opinions. Remember that opinions are personal and don’t have to be the same as the person next to you. We will do various writing prompts and activities to practice using opinion words and phrases to show our personal views. We can use opinion words like:
Some opinion books to read at home: Don’t Feed the Bear by Kathleen Doherty The Big Bed by Bunmi Laditan Karen Orloff--I Wanna Iguana and I Wanna New Room Have I Got a Book for You by Melanie Watt Click, Clack, Moo: Cows that Type by Doreen Cronin Corduroy Writes a Letter by Alison Inches A Pig Parade Is a Terrible Idea by Michael Ian Black Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! by Mo Willems The Perfect Pet by Margie Palatini Can I Be Your Dog? by Troy Cummings What Can a Citizen Do? by Dave Eggers Phonics: We know so much about Phonics and now we get to play with it! Students will be working on deepening their understanding of blends in the context of poetry. It isn’t enough to simply know blends, we also have to think “what would make sense here?” This is an awesome skill to grow our comprehension and our ability to check our understanding of what we read. To grow our writing, we will be working on hearing all the sounds in each word and recording them onto the page. This week we will launch a new bend in Phonics- we will get to create “magic spells!” Students will work to hear ALL the sounds in the “magic words” they create to add to their writing! Math: This week we will be reviewing addition and subtraction. Students will be working to solve both types of word problems, deciding if they need to add or subtract. Some problems to practice at home: Read the problem aloud to your student. Ask them if you are adding or subtracting. Have the student choose a way to solve the problem! (manipulatives, number line, draw a picture, number sentence, etc) *Sarah has 9 pieces of candy. She eats 6 of them. How many does Sarah have now? How do you know? *Lucas has 4 cards. His mom gave him 4 more. How many cards does he have? How do you know? *There were 7 flowers in the grass. Will picked 3 of them. How many flowers are left? *Erin has 6 m and ms. Kassandra gave her 3 more. How many m and ms does Erin have altogether? *Brainstorm your own! Subtraction: “Take away” “less” “difference” Addition review: “More”, “add”, “plus”, “altogether” Science and Social Studies: We will continue our study of Presidents and Patriots this week. We will focus on studying Christopher Columbus and the U.S. symbols.
