Due to school being cancelled on Friday, we will push the phonics test to this Friday!
Math: This week will chapter 2. It is all about addition!
Timed Tests: We will continue taking timed tests each week. The students are off to a great start. Start practicing the fact listed below. Our mixed +3's test will be on Tuesday and the mixed + 2’s and + 3’s test will be Wednesday. Continue practicing all of the facts. Students will have four minutes to complete 20 problems.
Review these facts!
1+0=1; 1+1=2; 1+2=3; 1+3=4; 1+4=5; 1+5=6; 1+6=7; 1+7=8; 1+8=9; 1+9=10
2+0=2; 2+1=3; 2+2=4; 2+3=5; 2+4=6; 2+5=7; 2+6=8; 2+7=9; 2+8=10; 2+9=11
3+0=3; 3+1=4; 3+2=5; 3+3=6; 3+4=7; 3+5=8; 3+6=9; 3+7=10; 3+8=11; 3+9=12
Phonics: We will have a Phonics test each Friday. Practice vowel sounds and blends:
short vowel blends: ru, si, tu, be, ha, ni
We will practice these in class every day!
Social Sciences: We will begin our unit on American Symbols.
Reading: We will continue reading groups this week. We will take a comprehension test on Friday. Students will read a story in class and we will discuss it. They should read the story (pages will be on a note card in the book) and then ask an adult to ask them questions about what they read.
Spelling: We will have a spelling test every Friday. Students will write these words when I call them out. This week five bonus words will be added to the list. Students should learn the 10 spelling words first. For a challenge, they can also learn the five bonus words. All students will take the bonus portion of the test. For each bonus word spelled correctly, the student will get 1 extra point on the test. There is no penalty for spelling a bonus word incorrectly.
Spelling: No test this week because of the short week and the Fun Run.
Bible: We will continue our unit on Creation this week. We will have a Bible verse each week. Students will say the verse to me.
Bible Verse: "'Honor your father and mother' - which is the first commandment with a promise. "Ephesians 6:2
Handwriting: We will continue learning how to form the letters.
Creative Writing: Students will continue to practice writing complete sentences using capital letters at the beginning and periods at the end. I will introduce question marks this week. We will continue learning the parts of a sentence. We will be writing super sentences. All sentences should have these four parts:
Begin with a capital letter.
End with a punctuation mark.
Make sense.
Be written neatly.
They will write sentences with their spelling words, write in their journals daily, and write about Creation.
