Sunday, January 12, 2020
What a wonderful first week back, we are slowly but surely getting back into the swing of things.  The 100th day of school is quickly approaching, look for a sign-up and a fun at home project coming to your inbox this week. Remember to check your child's yellow book back on Wednesday for their additional leveled reader.

I hope y'all have a wonderful week ahead, here's what we will be up to.

Spalding: This coming week we will learn three new phonograms: oa (cue: boat), oe (cue: toe), gu. We will learn 4 new spelling words that are very similar to each other, they will share the same beginning and ending consonant they are: ten, tan, ton, tin. We will also learn the word bed for five spelling words total. There will be no new rules to learn. 

Sight Words: We will continue to review list 2. 

Literature: This week we will read the fun story of The Bremen Town Musicians. We will identify the problem/solution, setting, and characters of the story. Our poem will be Jack Be Nimble.  We will be working on phonemic awareness with the poem by identifying rhyming words and acting our the poem. 


Math: Students will be able to understand place value using tens and ones.  Students will group ten objects together to make one group of ten, and any left overs are ones.  For example, the number 15 consists of one group of ten and five ones.

History: This week we will be learning about Martin Luther King Junior. Students will discuss what it means to be kind and fair to all. We will learn about the life of MLK and the positive things he did. We will learn all about words and acts of kindness and why they matter. Later in the week we will learn about another kind person in history; Mother Teresa. We will talk about how MLK and Mother Teresa are similar and different.


We used goldfish in math to compare numbers and decide who had more/less.




Thank you Adams family for sharing your awesome shell collection while we studied oceans this week.
