Words of the week: am, did Reading: As our reading muscles grow we have more power to solve even trickier books! The patterns in our books are getting harder but we have all the skills we need to solve tricky patterns. Readers can expect that there will be parts of our stories where the pattern breaks or changes. We can call on our superpowers to help us read those parts well. Another skill we are growing is monitoring our reading. Just because we solved a word using the pictures and the first letter doesn’t mean we are done. Readers have to check their reading for meaning and structure as they read. If their reading doesn’t match or make sense then it is their responsibility to fix it up. We can ask “Does it make sense?” “Does it sound right?” to monitor as we read. Writing: Writers write all different styles of writing but each time they sit to write, no matter what they are writing, they remember the skills they have in their back pocket and use them! When we write how to books, we are not forgetting that we can plan what to write by touching and telling across the pages. While we write, we are learning that writers reread their writing as they go and make changes throughout the writing process. Revising and editing is done as you write…it’s not just for when you are done! Some ways we are working on making our writing better this week is by:
Phonics: Our vowel power is continuing to grow! All words have a vowel and as writers it is our duty to make sure that every word we write has at least one vowel. We will be checking Mabel’s writing to edit and revise for vowels and then using our writing to make sure we activate our vowel power in each word. We will begin to focus on isolating vowel sounds in the middle of words. This is a tricky skill that requires lots of practice! This week we will focus on the short a and short i sounds in a variety of ways. This week we will be learning and reviewing how, you, am and did. Be sure to work on these words at home! Math: This week we are launching into a new numeracy unit! We will be focusing on the teen numbers 11-14.
Science & Social Studies: This week we will be learning about motion and how things move. Students will be discussing the direction and way things move in the world around them. Some words to describe motion:
