Parents,
Here is a peek at our upcoming work for next week.
READING: Our new reading vocabulary words are:
live made people taste your
hundred knocked outside tears sick
longer empty popcorn pretzels
nowhere wobbly
An easy way to help your child review is to put this paper on the refrigerator and have your child read through the list of words a couple of times each day.
Our comprehension skill is identifying the main character(s) in a story and determining what the character is like by looking at what he/she says or does.
MATH: We continue to review counting to 100 by 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s. We are also practicing mixed counting. (For example, we might count up to 40 by 10’s and then switch to 5’s and continue counting up to 100.)
We are also learning to fill in the missing numbers in a number sequence. An example of our work would be similar to this: 138, ___, ___, 141, ____,
Please take a few minutes each night to practice counting and make up some sample number sequence problems as a way to help your child practice. This is also a good time to get out the addition flashcards as we are reviewing our addition facts every day.
SCIENCE: We are studying the life cycle of a plant. Our science vocabulary words are: seed, seed coat, germinate, seedling, and adult plant.
SPELLING: Our spelling words for this week are: sand, land, send, desk, lost, last, taste, people, pencil, and stop. Your child has the new list in his/her folder.
LIBRARY: We will return to the library on Thursday. Please make sure all books are returned so that more may be checked out.
REMINDER: We have Johnny Appleseed Day during the afternoon on Friday, September 23.
Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Wimmler
