Reading: Bear Says Thanks, and Giving Thanks: A Native American Good Morning Message are our stories for this week. We are looking at identifying who is telling the story.
Phonics:We are starting to learn about vowel teams. The common rule is that when two vowels go walking the first one does all the talking. We will also talk about CVCe words where the "e" is silent to allow the first vowel to say it's name as in cake, like, and tune.
Writing:We will have our AUTHOR's CHAIR readings where each child will present their story to the class. We will also begin our "How To" writings where we use first, next, and last to organize our thoughts when giving a step-by-step writing sample.
Math: We are working on identifying patterns in numbers by adding 2, 5, 10 to existing numbers. Students will be able to create simple patterns using objects, pictures, and numbers. They will also identify what the pattern rule is.
IXL:If you would like to use IXL at home, we recommend these sections for practice this week:
- Counting and Number Patterns (Section A)
- Addition (Section B & C)
- Subtraction (Section D & E)
- Mixed Operations (Section F)
- Recognizing Patterns (section P)
Core Knowledge: The next few weeks your child will be learning about ancient Egypt. He/she will learn about the importance of the Nile River for farming and for the cities that developed on the river. Your child will also learn about the Egyptian writing system of using hieroglyphs, the existence of pharaohs, and the importance of their religion. They will make a sarcophagus project that they will present and is due December 7th.
