100s Day
DATE CHANGE: Thursday, February 21st!
Curriculum
Reading:In reading we continued to read about different people from the past. We will continue to do this and identify their character traits. Next week, the students will be asked to identify traits but also give evidence for why they would describe the character using that specific character trait.
Book Baggies:
Please help the students remember to bring their book baggies every Friday. I would like them to have an opportunity to read different books.
Writing:
This week, students have been planning and writing opinion pieces on things they have an opinion about (ie. Their favorite color, favorite dessert, favorite sport, etc.). Next week, we will continue to plan and write opinion papers.
Math:
In math we've been learning to tell time to the hour. Students will continue to practice this skill, but please also practice at home. Next week, we will review adding 3 addends and strategies for adding.
IXL Skills - Use these activities as you wish to help your child with the skills we will be working on throughout this first trimester.
Science/Social Studies:
In science we will be learning about shadows next week. Students are learning about light sources and then how shadows are created.
Purposeful Play
Please see the Purposeful Play tab on the blog to learn more about our weekly Play Time and donation items we could use for it!
Homework
- Read every night (you can read with your child, listen to them read or read to them - all of it helps). Then talk about the book - who are the characters, what happened, why did it happen, make connections, what's the main idea, why did the author write the book, how did the author give you information, what features did the author use to help you as a reader
- Work on a math skill
- counting forwards and backwards within 120 (and skip counting)
- adding and subtracting to 20 - play a board game for this
- telling time (What are the hands on the clock? How is a clock set up?)
- identify and count coins
- measuring - length and volume - have your child cook with you to practice this
- talk about shapes - 2D and 3D - find items around your house, etc.)
