Phonics
We are having phonics and spelling this week due to a short week last week. Our focus this week are prefixes. A prefix is added to the beginning of a word to change the meaning of the word.
The prefixes we are focusing on this week are:
pre- which means before
re- which means to do again
un- means not or the opposite
dis- means the opposite

Reading
We will incorporate prefixes into our reading lessons and look for prefixes in our stories and figure out the meaning of a word based on the prefix. We are also practicing letter writing because we are starting our We Deliver program we do in the spring on the primary campus.

Math
We are continuing double digit subtraction with regrouping.
1. If there’s more on the floor, go next door and get ten more.
2. If there’s more on top, no need to stop.
3. If the numbers are the same, then zero is the game.
