week of February 8, 2016

Math- Our essential question for Topic 8 is “What types of situations involve subtraction?”  We will: act out number stories that involve separating 2 groups, act out subtraction problems and record the answer, use the equal sign, subtract, and write the difference, determine how many are left when some objects are taken away, write and solve subtraction sentences to show take away situations, compare 2 groups to find out how many more are fewer, use the minus sign to represent take away situation, and solve problems by choosing addition or subtraction.  Please sign and return the Topic 7 assessment when it comes home, many thanks!

Science- We will be focusing on “What is a mixture?” and the things that make up the mixtures.  We will be making our own mixture and record our answers.  Finally, we will be looking at the mixtures that we eat.  We will be taking our Matter and Mixtures assessment next week, please also sign and return that one when it comes home as well, many thanks!

Reading- We will be reading: Rooster’s off to see the World.  We will be discussing sequence in the story.  Our amazing words are: world, trip, journey, lonely, horizon, homesick.  There is a growing pattern in this story and we have been able to predict what comes next.

Phonics/Grammar- Our new letter is Hh like in Hat.  We will be identifying initial H in words.  We also always review nouns, verbs, and adjectives.  We have been trying to make our sentences longer by adding more descriptive words to them.

Writing- Our lowercase letters for next week are mostly vowels, i,e, and a review of u.  We will also be practicing l.  We will also be working on “naming parts” of the sentence and following directions.
