Weekly Learning Objectives
Reading- As we read we will "stop and jot" (name characters and settings, ask questions, make predictions, make connections to the story, etc)
FunDations (phonics study)- We will learn about vowel teams ee, ea, ey, oi, and oy.
Please Remember- It is that time of year when it is so easy to put off reading with your child. Please aim for 4 of 7 evenings a week. Routine and continuity are key!
Social Studies- We will learn about various group contributions to society and why they are important.
Writing- We will research and write about various group contributions to society and why they are important.
Science- We will observe plants and discover how their physical characteristics help them meet their basic needs.
Math- We will work on place value through the 999.
Quick Idea- Practice telling time with your child. Continue practicing those basic math facts.
