Week of May 15-19, 2017

Reading:  “Old MacDonald had a Workshop” is this week’s story. This animal fantasy answers the question, “What tools do you need to build things?” We will be reviewing characters and introducing prepositional phrases. The amazing words are: saw, hammer, file, drill, screwdriver, and chisel. We will concentrate on the following sight words: where, that, is, come, and go.

Phonics: Short and long vowel sounds are revisited, with the focus on Oo. The letter is reviewed in the beginning, middle, and even the end of words.

Math:  Measurement will be tested this week. Sorting, Classifying, Counting, and Categorizing Data in Topic 13 will begin.
