Week of March 25, 2019

Reading: This week’s informational text discusses what kinds of transportation help us in an emergency. The story is called “Mayday! Mayday!” Cause and Effect is the comprehension skill we will continue to develop. The amazing words are: rescue, yacht, mechanic, pilot, sailor, and shimmering. The popular sight words are: yellow, blue, and green. Writing practice will focus on using question marks and uppercase letters appropriately. Sentences that rhyme are also used throughout the week.

Phonics:  The letter of the week is Xx. The final /ks/ sound will be stressed, as in the word box.

Math: Unit 5 (Understanding Subtraction) will be continue this week.

The children are becoming very familiar with separating stories, taking away, using the minus sign, finding differences, and subtraction sentences.
