Week of February 26- March 2, 2018

Reading: We will read “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” this week. This classic fairy tale will be used to understand characters in a story. We are also practicing how to write telling sentences. Our amazing words for the week are: bears, cottage, middle-sized, porridge, big, and small. The sight words  include: one, two, three, four, and five.

Phonics: Gg is the letter of the week. The /g/ sound, as in goose will be the focus. We will practice words with this sound at the beginning, as well as words containing this sound at the end (ex. bag).

Math:  Topic 7 (Understanding Addition) will be continued this week. We will use number stories showing how to join groups and count how many items there are altogether. The plus and equal sign will be used to write addition sentences. Please review the vocabulary words add, plus sign, equal sign, and sum while you are practicing addition at home.

Reminders:

~ As always, please continue to practice sight words daily. 96 words are a lot! Congratulations to those students who are practicing the first grade list already!

~ On Friday, March 2^nd, the children will celebrate “Read Across America” with Bloomsburg University students. These guests will read Dr. Seuss stories and provide some fun, educational activities.

Have a great week!
