Here’s a Sneak Peek at Next Week:
Learning Objectives
- Reading: What are the habits of a good reader? We will learn about the Flippy Dolphin strategy (Flip the vowels. EX: Try out a long "a" sound if that doesn't sound right try the short "a" sound). We will study words that have l-blends. We will practice reading, sorting, writing, and spelling during Word Study time.
- Writing: We will write stories about a person in our family. We will work on adding more details to our illustrations and sentences. We are working on writing sentences with capital letters, spaces between words, and ending marks. I encourage students to be fearless spellers. This means they sound out unknown words or look to the Word Wall for assistance.
- Math: We will learn how to write subtraction equations and use pictures to help us solve subtraction story problems.
- Social Studies: We will be learning map skills. Students will develop map skills by a.) recognizing basic map symbols; b.) using cardinal directions on maps; c.) identifying the shapes of the United States and Virginia on maps and globes; d.) locating Washington, D.C., the capital of the U.S.A and Richmond, the capital of Virginia, on a United States Map
- Character: How can we take ownership of our problems? (I teach the students these steps: 1.) Own it! 2.) Fix it 3.) Learn from it 4.) Move on
1.) Math Homework: Workbook pages 53-64
2.) Have your child read the leveled books that are sent home (please return these the NEXT day because we need them for our reading group)
3.) Practice Sight words (I will be assessing students on the first 9 weeks list next week.)
