We have a busy four day week coming up... we are getting in our Progress Report Testing. So make sure your child gets a good nights sleep so that they do well on the Tests. :)
Our Resources this week are: Monday~Music (Broach), Tuesday~Art (Phillips) and Thursday~P.E.There is No School on Friday and No School on Monday, enjoy the four day weekend!! :) And have a Happy Easter!!
MATH
We are diving head first into addition using cubes, pictures, number lines (number paths) and ten frames. Make sure to be reviewing the Math Worksheets that go home. Our test has problems taken directly from the papers.
Also, practice number writing to 20. We noticed quite a few reversals written and students lose points when that happens.
WRITING
We just finished our All About Me Reports. So now we are starting our Kindergarten Memory Books. The students take great pride in these books and we don't want to rush them... so we're starting them early. :)
SAXON/ READING SKILLS
We are discussing Digraph th. Saxon offers two ways to code the th depending on where it is located in a word. We will only be underlining it. This is what we have done with every digraph in Saxon.
Our focus Vowel this week is i. We will be discussing words that have the short and long i sound. Check out the slideshow below to practice.
Our blend this week is SK-. Students may confuse the sc- with sk-, at the current time it is okay.
Our Sight Words are just, then, went & things. As mentioned last week in the Weekly Post, practice reading Sight Words!!
READING
Our story is Hey, Little Ant by Phillip & Hannah Hoose. Last week got kind of crazy and I didn't feel the students had enough practice to do well on a Vocabulary test. So we will be completing the test this week. The vocabulary words are: squish, mates, rude, crook & decide. As mentioned, the students will be given two words and they will need to write the definition or draw a picture illustrating the word.
