Week of February 22-26, 2016

Reading:  We will complete “My Lucky Day” this week. Cause and effect is still the focus skill.  The next story we will start is “One Little Mouse.” This is an animal fantasy that answers the question “What adventures can animals have?” Story sequence will be stressed in these lessons. The amazing words presented are: woodland, vale, comfortable, nest, hollow, and shadows. The targeted sight words are: one, two, three, four, and five. We will also learn what parts are needed in a sentence to make it complete.

Phonics:  Consonant blends will be introduced this week. The students will learn how to blend two sounds together in a word. (ex. /s/ and /l/ together make a /sl/ sound, as in slide.

Math:  Topic 7 (Understanding Addition) will be completed. We will learn how to use the plus sign, find sums, write addition sentences, and practice joining groups.

Reminders:

~ Friday will be the February Positive Behavior Reward Day. Students may bring a toy from home for recess. Please refer to the note sent home regarding this reward.

~ Please continue to practice sight words daily. We are striving to attain and possibly surpass that goal of 96 words!
