October 28-November 1, 2019    

Reading: Our story of the week is called “Animal Babies in Grasslands.” The informational text will discuss the special animals that live in grasslands with their babies. Determining the main idea in a story is the reading skill we will use to develop comprehension. Adjectives for colors and shapes will be introduced. The amazing words presented in the story are: calf, cub, joey, grassland, pup, and foal. Three new sight words will be introduced: we, my, and like.

Phonics:  Pp is the letter of the week. The sound we will focus on is /p/ as in penguin. We will practice the sound in the beginning, as well as at the end of words. We are also learning to blend letter sounds to read words.

Math: We are still working with the numbers 0-10. Our new Spring Math skill is determining the missing number.
