Language Arts/Reading: Writing and Reading - We will continuing to develop research skills. The children will be finding facts about penguins and writing about their learning. We will be launching into writing to inform with step by step directions.
Spelling/Words Their Way:Due to the short we will not have Words Their Way. On Friday, we will have a sight word test on the following words- put, where, right, too, play. Please work with your child to learn them. Children should be able to read these words with fluency and automatically without thinking about them.
Social Studies: We will be learning about our 1st President, George Washington. We will be comparing him to our 16th President. Both Presidents have an amazing impact on our country.
Math:We will be working on counting coins. This would be a great time to help your child count your pocket change. They will have to identify the 4 different coins- penny, nickel, dime,and quarter. They will also have to be able to know the backs and fronts of each coin. Learning the value of each coin is essential. This is where our lessons on skip counting help us. Your child should be able to count by ones, fives, and tens. They should also be able to use the skill of counting on.
Science: We will be talking about weather. We will explore the job of a meteorologist and the tools they use to forecast the weather.
