Week of March 28- April 1, 2016

Reading: “Mayday! Mayday!” is our story for the week. This informational text discusses what kinds of transportation help us in an emergency. We will further develop the comprehension skill of cause and effect. The amazing words are: rescue, yacht, mechanic, pilot, sailor, and shimmering. The popular sight words are: yellow, blue, and green. Writing practice will focus on using question marks and uppercase letters appropriately. Sentences that rhyme are also used throughout the week.

Phonics:  The letter of the week is Xx. The final /ks/ sound will be stressed, as in the word box.

Math: After testing Topic 9 (Composing and Decomposing Numbers to 10), we will begin Topic 10. These lessons will continue composing numbers from 11-19.
