What we are learning this week! Words of the week: can, to, do *Tip for practicing names: This week, work with your child on forming all the letters in their name correctly (make sure only the first letter in their first and last name is capitalized!). Here’s an awesome website to create customized tracing sheets! You can stick one page in a sheet protector and use expo markers to practice over and over again! https://www.createprintables.com/name_tracing_worksheet.php Reading: This week our readers will be learning more skills to help strengthen their pointer power! Our super reading is growing stronger by remembering that each word gets one point- even the “krytonite” (long, tricky) words. Snap words can serve as an anchor to keep us on track while reading as we make sure that the word coming out of our mouth matches the word on the page. Also, we can use the first letter of the word to make sure we are matching our reading to the words.
Writing: This week in writing we will continue working on making our writing the best it can be for our readers! Our writers will work on using a vowel chart to help them figure out the sounds in the middle of each word. We will be reminding ourselves that every word has a vowel… and big words have a vowel in every syllable! As students continue to grow in their writing skills we will move away from relying solely on word wall words to tell stories and work on using our storyteller voice! Writers will be using a new editing tool to add on to their writing this week. We will be practicing searching our mental and drawn pictures to add even more to our stories. As writers search our memory and what we already have on the page, they begin to remember even more happened and add it in! Phonics: We will be using our reading superpowers in phonics! Readers read all day, in every subject, and our superpowers can help us all day, too! We will be using our pointer power to not only read, but to help us write sentences. We can touch the page for each word and help ourselves track our writing as we reread to add even more. We already know how to use snap words when we write sentences and we can write those...well, in a snap! Writers also add other words into their sentences and sound out all the sounds they hear. This takes courage. Our writers will work on their bravery as they say and write each and every sound in long words, too! Math: This week our mathematicians will continue working with part-part-whole and decomposing numbers. Continue to work with your student at home on part-part-whole problems as well as composing and decomposing numbers 6-10. *Missing part: There were 8 lollipops. 6 were grape and the rest were cherry. How many lollipops were cherry? *Missing whole: There were 6 grape lollipops and 2 cherry lollipops. How many did I have altogether? Be sure to check out these number bond videos, part-part-whole explanation, and games!
Science & Social Studies: This week we are learning all about maps! Maps help us learn about places and get to the places we need to go. We will look at maps of places we love, such as Typhoon Texas and Katy Mills Mall, to learn how to navigate a map with words like next to, close, far, etc. We will also be looking at maps to learn about where we are located on maps. We will be using vocabulary such as city, state, country, continent, and planet.
