Week of January 29-February 2, 2018

Reading: We will start Unit 4 this week. The stories in this section will discuss adventures. The first story is Eric Carle’s animal fantasy, “Rooster’s Off to See the World.” Sequence (the order of events in a story) will be the skill taught.  The new amazing words to explore are: world, trip, journey, lonely, horizon, and homesick. The sight words to focus on are: are, do, and that.

Phonics:  Our letter of the week is Hh. The initial /h/ sound (as in helicopter) will be the focus.

Math: We will continue to work on Topic 5, "Numbers to 20." In this unit we count, read, and write numbers 11-20. The next Topic works on Numbers to 100.  (Please keep practicing writing the numbers 0-20 at home, along with counting to 100. We have many students who met both goals already!)
