Welcome Back!

ELA:
This week we will be setting reading goals and see what we need to continue to work on in order to reach our goals.

We will also be working on the following skills:

• Restate the question in our answer (in a complete sentence)
• Doubling the final consonant (words that have one consonant after the vowel) before the ending and changing y to ies
• Using the verbs is, are, was, were appropriately in conversation and in writing
• Practice going back in the text to find the answers to the questions
• Homophones
• Using Context Clues to determine meaning of unknown word
• Word Relationships- See below

L.1.5. With guidance and support from adults, demonstrate understanding of word relationships and nuances in word meanings.

A. Sort words into categories (e.g., colors, clothing) to gain a sense of the concepts the categories represent.

B. Define words by category and by one or more key attributes (e.g., a duck is a bird that swims; a tiger is a large cat with stripes).

C.Identify real-life connections between words and their use (e.g., note places at home that are cozy).

MATH:

This week we will review skills that have been introduced earlier in the year. We will also work on the following skills:

• Comparing numbers up to 120 (and beyond) using <, =, and >
• Continue to explore place value (hundreds, tens, and ones) and special cases (25 can be 2 tens, 5 ones OR 1 ten, 15 ones OR 25 ones).
• Represent, compose, and decompose numbers using place value terms

SCIENCE:

We will begin our new physical science unit on Light and Sound.

Rooted Mind:

Our root for the week is -odont  dent-  means tooth

Please keep an eye out for words with our root. See if your child can spot the words!

Words Their Way:

We will continue learning our "just right" developmental spelling patterns. Keep a look on Seesaw to see what spelling pattern your child is working on this week!
