Week of November 12-16, 2018       

Our new Reading story will continue to discuss hibernation. “A Bed for the Winter” is an educational text that presents types of homes animals create in order to stay warm during the coldest season of the year. To enhance comprehension skills, we will revisit how to determine the sequence of a story. Adjectives for opposites are presented this week. The amazing words are: nest, meadow, stump, tree trunk, hive, and den. Two new sight words will be taught this week: he and for.

The Phonics letter of the week is Ii. The focus will be on the short /i/ sound, as in igloo. Words with the initial and medial /i/ sound will be practiced. We are working hard on segmenting, blending, and trying to write words containing the sounds we have learned. I am very pleased with the fantastic effort I am seeing!

Our Math lessons for the week will focus on numbers 11-20. We are practicing how to count, read, write, and represent numbers from 0-20. Please continue to practice counting to 100 and writing numbers 0-20 with correct formation.
