Week of 3/27-3/31

Spelling/Phonics- We will review different spelling patterns that we have learned throughout the year.

Reading- We are continuing our PBL about recycling.

Math- We are beginning time this week. We will start with a review of telling time by the hour and half hour, then we will begin quarter hour using vocabulary words such as half-past and a quarter- till. By the end of next week they will need to know how to tell time on an analog clock by the minute. Next week will begin telling time by 5 minute increments and then to the minute.

Week of March 20th – 24th

Spelling/Phonics– We have a spelling test this week. Here are our words for the week:
New words: air, give, big, home, should
Review words: they, there, their, these, other, people, because, such, different, between, name

Reading- We are starting our PBL (Project Based Learning) about Recycling this week. It will last for 4 weeks and we will go in depth about Reducing, Reusing and Recycling. You will probably be hearing a lot about those three things for the next few weeks at home, so get ready to learn about the 3 R’s.

Math– We are learning about 3D shapes and their attributes. (How many faces, edges and vertices.)

We are completely out of pencils and glue sticks. If you are able, please send some to school with your child.
Thank you in advance!

Lyrics2Learn

We have started a new reading website to help your child with fluency and comprehension. It is called Lyrics2Learn and there is a link on the right hand side of my blog under reading. I have already set up their account. The username is their first name and their password is their last name. Please encourage your child to visit this website to read and practice their fluency.

Read Across America Day!

Tomorrow is Read Across America Day. We will be doing enjoyable reading activities tomorrow morning to celebrate. Your child may bring a blanket and a small stuffed animal to read with if they would like. They may also bring a small nutritious snack to enjoy while reading if they would like. Please, no peanuts!
