Week of April 10-14, 2017

Reading: This week’s story is called “Trucks Roll!” This rhyming, nonfiction book discusses what types of transportation help people do their jobs. We will practice how to compare and contrast to build comprehension skills. Prepositions will be introduced and poems will be practiced. The amazing words in the story are: trailers, cabs, haul, steering wheel, truckers, and headlight. The sight words to focus on are: what, said, and was.

Phonics: This week’s feature letter is Uu.  The short /u/ sound, as in umbrella, will be taught in the initial and medial position of words.

Math: Topic 10 (Composing Numbers 11 to 19) is a hard concept for the children. Therefore, we will continue with extra practice on these concepts for the week. Please help your child remember the equal, plus, and minus signs.
