Week
of October 24-28, 2016
Reading: “Nature’s
Spy” is this week’s nonfiction story. It teaches us how we can appreciate the
world around us when we look closely at the natural environment. We will
discuss setting throughout the week
and proper nouns will be introduced.
Our amazing words are: discover, nature, spy, acorn, pod, and pattern. We will continue working with
the sight words have
and is.
Phonics: The letter for the week is Ss.
The sound is /s/, as in sun. This sound will be taught in the beginning and the
end of words.
Math: Numbers 1
through 5 will
be completed in Topic 1 this week. We are counting, reading, and writing the
numbers in different arrangements. Please practice writing these numbers at
home as well.
Science: We will be exploring pumpkins this
week. Stories, diagrams, and pumpkins will be used to explore the parts. Gourds
