week of March 30, 2015

This week in class:

Math:  We are starting topic 10, composing numbers 11-19.  We will be making 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 and looking for a pattern.  We will be working with numbers 11-19 to gain the foundations for place value.  We will continue to: count to 100, add and subtract, sort objects, and identify and describe shapes throughout the week.

Reading/Phonics:  Our new story is called: “If You Could Go To Antarctica” and the skill we will be focusing on is: classifying and categorizing and listening for character.  We are also working on Ee in the beginning of words and in the middle of words. We will be talking about capital letters, periods, and writing a letter.  The amazing words are: Antarctica, icebergs, seals, continent, penguins, whales.
