Weeks of November 23 and November 30, 2015
There will be no
written homework the week of November 23, 2015 due to the short
week. It will resume on December 1, 2015
when we return from break. Please
practice all letters, sounds, sight word, and continue to read your AR
books! J
*Below lists the topics we will be starting November 23 and
continuing the following week.*
Math- Our new
topic is: Topic 4, Comparing and Ordering Numbers 0-10. We will be working on numbers to 5 and then
numbers to 10. We will be working on 1
and 2 more and 1 and 2 fewer. We will
also be ordering those numbers to 10 and working with a number line. We have been practicing writing numbers 0-10
in Handwriting and each day we practice a different number 0-20 in Math
Meeting. Keep up the good work writing
your numbers!
Science- We will
continue to use our Weekly Readers to
explore more topics in the world around us.
We will also be working on different dinosaur activities and reading
many books on the topic that are both fiction and nonfiction. We will continue to talk about the upcoming
season of winter and what winter looks like, feels like, and what different
animals do in this time of year.
Reading- Our new
story is: Jack and the Beanstalk. We will be comparing and contrasting realism
versus fantasy with our new story. Our amazing
words are: beanstalk, ogre, naughty, fad, magic, lend. We will also identify the setting of the
story and list the characters.
Phonics/Grammar-
Our new letter is Ii like in Igloo.
We will be identifying the /Ii/
sound in the beginning and middle of words.
We will be listening for plot of the story and reviewing adjectives to
describe our nouns. We will be working
