April 15-18, 2019  

   

Reading: Our story this week is called "On the Move!” It is an informational text that will discuss how people in different parts of the world travel.  We will review Main Idea to enhance our comprehension skills. We will also learn more about nouns in sentences. The amazing words from the story are: travel, llama, submarine, kayak, dogsled, and double-decker bus. The targeted sight words are: when and come.

Phonics: Two letters will be targeted this week. We will work with the letters Vv (with the /v/ sound as in van) and Zz (with the /z/ sound as in zebra).

Math: Unit 7 (Time, Data, and Measurement) will be tested this week. We are having so much fun measuring items according to length, height, weight, and capacity! We also enjoyed exploring the parts of a clock and telling time to the hour. (We don’t want to be late if we have an important date!) Finally, we are graphing information to organize our data.
