Coming Up Next Week
What We are Learning Next Week
Next week students will have an opportunity to identify the difference in words with long and short vowels by listening carefully to what they hear in words.
In science students will continue observing attributes of living things. They will classify things as animals or plants and discuss their life cycles.
In writing we will continue opinion writing . Students are expected to create an introduction sentence stating their opinion, followed by the word "because" and facts to support their opinion. At this time of the year, students should be able to compose 2-3 sentences about a topic using simple words that are clear and easy to understand. Students should be able to use "word analysis" to hear and record the sounds they hear in words. Writing should include some punctuation marks and the errors should not interfere with the meaning of their writing.
In math students will use what they have learned about addition to explore and understand addition word problems. You can help with this at home by talking to your child about how two number "parts" are joined together to create a "whole" number. You can use fingers, real objects, and even acting out to help your child. Students need to understand that when we add two numbers together that they grow! We will be using drawings, ten-frames, parts/whole diagrams, and even number lines to help students. It is important that students be able to show and explain their "math thinking" and they arrived at the correct answer.
