Week of April 16-20, 2018

Reading: "On the Move!” is this week’s story. This is an informational text that will discuss how people in different parts of the world travel.  Main Idea is the comprehension skill to review. We will also learn more about nouns in sentences. The amazing words from the story are: travel, llama, submarine, kayak, dogsled, and double-decker bus. The targeted sight words are: when and come.
Phonics: Two letters will be targeted this week. We will work with the letters Vv (with the /v/ sound as in van) and Zz (with the /z/ sound as in zebra).

Math:  After testing Topic 9 (Composing Numbers 4-10), we will begin Topic 10. These lessons will continue composing numbers from 11-19. Please practice addition stories and sentences, along with the plus and equal signs.

Reminders:
~ Please continue to practice all sight words daily. Congratulations to the students who are able to read all 96 words! The goal is definitely in reach for those who are not quite there yet.

~Practice writing words and sentences. Sentences should start with a capital letter, contain a space between words, and have an ending mark.
