Thematic Big Book/Shared Reading: This week we will finish our Polar Animals unit and we will begin learning about force and motion. We will read informational texts about force and motion and conduct our own experiments.
Phonics: We will work on handwriting, letter sounds and using letters and sounds to spell and read words. This week we will focus on word families: ap and ag.
Sight Words: review
Writing: This week we will work in our journals. Children typically have a choice as to what they should write about. However, at this point in the year we need to be writing sentences.
Math: This week we will work to solve story problems. I want students to picture the problem in their head so they can gain a real, concrete understanding of what they are learning. The most important thing is for students do develop strategies for problem solving.
Science: This week we will explore how objects move.
Snacks- We are slightly low on snacks. The kids love fruit snacks. I also have a small fridge in my room if you want to bring something like cheese sticks, carrot sticks or sliced apples. Popcorn is also usually a big hit with the kids. Please just remember we are a peanut and tree nut free classroom. Thanks!
Lexia-
Lexia is a great way for your child to practice literacy skills at home! I would love to see your child spend at least 15 minutes working on Lexia each evening. If you have not started using Lexia at home, you will need your child's student ID and my email- jmelnyk@interact.ccsd.net.
