Here is what we are learning in Room 140 next week!
Our learning goals:
- Wonders Unit 4, Lesson 2
- Read and spell words with long e sound, spelled -ee, -e,-ea, and ie
- Read high frequency words: because, blue, into, other, or, small
- Identify main idea and details
- use verbs has and have properly
- iReady Math, Lesson 29- Sort and Compare/Data
- Math Facts 11-15
A word about Math Facts. Our standard for third quarter is to know our 11-15 Math Facts. Must be able to at least complete a math fact page when not timed with 90% accuracy to master this standard. I will be sending home some math fact pages to practice for homework as well.
Each week we will be sending home a copy of that week's decodable reader for your child to practice reading. This is grade level material so all children should be able to read it. We request that you routinely read this throughout the week to increase your child's fluency and decoding ability. Repeated reading of the same text is absolutely the best method for practicing fluency at our level. If the text is easy for your child then please work on rate and prosody which is a fancy way of seeing read like a teacher and not a robot. Smooth reading, pausing for punctuation and changing inflection of voice is important in creating fluent reading. These passages also provide the extra bonus of alerting those who notice their child struggling to read the words that they may need some extra phonics practice that week.
Thank you for all you do to help support your child's learning at home.
Monday is the last day to order the Pink Bully Prevention t-shirts and buttons if you are interested.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact me. Have a great week!
