November 11-15, 2019

Our Reading story is called “A Bed for the Winter.” This educational text will continue to discuss hibernation. We will learn that animals create different types of homes in order to stay warm during the coldest season of the year. Sequence of a story will be revisited this week. Adjectives for opposites are presented this week. The amazing words are: nest, meadow, stump, tree trunk, hive, and den. Two new sight words will be taught this week: he and for. 

The Phonics letter of the week is Ii. The focus will be on the short /i/ sound, as in igloo. Words with the initial and medial /i/ sound will be practiced. We are working hard on segmenting word sounds and blending sounds to read words. Knowing all the letter sounds really helps build success with these skills.

Our Math lessons for the week will focus on numbers 11-20. We are practicing how to count, read, write, and represent numbers from 0-20.  We are enjoying the teen songs to help us remember these numbers! Please continue to practice counting to 100 and writing numbers 0-20 with correct formation.
