Week of March 11-15, 2019

Reading: After completing “If You Could Go to Antarctic,” we will move on to “Abuela.” This fantasy story is about a little girl and her grandmother exploring a big city. Some Spanish words will be introduced. To build comprehension we will be identifying the setting in stories. The amazing words presented are: abuela, flock, airport, adventure, city, and harbor. The sight words to focus on are: here, go, and from.

Phonics:  Our letter of the week is Ee. We will continue learning the initial and medial /e/ sounds in words.

Math: Topic 5 is introduced this week. The theme is “Understanding Subtraction.” We will use stories to separate and take away objects in groups. Math vocabulary includes subtract, minus, equal, and difference.
