Week of November 23-27, 2015

Due to the reduced instructional time last week and this week, we will not be starting a new Reading story. We will take the time to complete the concepts presented in “A Bed for the Winter.” The Thanksgiving theme will also be incorporated into our lessons. The students will learn about the first Thanksgiving and discuss the feeling of appreciation. We will review character, setting, sequence, main idea, and comparing/contrasting in holiday themed books.

Phonics skills will still focus on the vowel Ii, while continuing to review blending, segmenting, syllables, and rhyming.

Math’s Topic 2 (Comparing and Ordering 0-5) will be tested this week before Topic 3 (Six to 10) is introduced.

Reminders:

~ It is important to practice sight words daily!

~ It is also beneficial to review the letters of the alphabet. Try to         increase the speed of recognition.
