Snack Helper for This Week: Maddox
Snack Helper for the Week after Thanksgiving: Vince
Spelling/Grammar/Literature: In spelling, we will be focusing on instant letter recognition, unblending sounds in words, and changing sounds to make new words. Our spelling pattern for this week will be using the letter a to spell the short /a/ sound and the letter s to spell the /z/ sound. We will discuss the position of the letters in the word (is it in the initial, medial, or final position?). As we practice the spelling of our words for the week, we will also be discussing and learning proper handwriting. We will learn about “closed syllables,” a syllable that ends in at least one consonant. The vowel in a closed syllable is short.
In literature, we will be discussing narrative writing, informative writing, and informative-narrative writing. We will be focusing on the narrative element of emotional appeal (the way in which authors use words, phrases, or sentences that make us feel happy, sad, or sorry for others). We will discuss how precise language contributes to emotional appeal.
Unit Study: This week we will continue our unit on Thanksgiving. We will be learning about the Pilgrims’ life in the New World. We will be learning about the relationship between the Indians and the Pilgrims. We will be reading about the hardships the Pilgrims faced, how they learned from and became acquainted with the Indians, and the first harvest feast. We will be reflecting on and talking about the things for which we are thankful.
Math: In math, we will continue Chapter 8: Numbers to 100. In this chapter, we will recognize pairs and count by 2s and 5s up to 20, learn to use tally marks, count to 100, count by 10s, and sequence numbers 1 to 100. We will be using manipulatives and hands on activities to learn about grouping and counting numbers.
Nature Study: This week, we will be reviewing the kingdoms and classes we have been introduced to this year. We will review the characteristics of living things, and the characteristics of fish, birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. We will be completing a project on the life cycle of a frog.
Bible: This week, we will be reading the stories of “Moses Warns Pharaoh” and “The Plagues of Egypt.” Please feel free to read and discuss these stories at home with your child.
Show and Tell: This week for Show & Tell, each child should bring a picture, drawing, or item that they are thankful for.
