MATH
We are continuing Number Bonds and focusing more on writing the equations. The equations can be written with the sum at the beginning or at the end. We will also begin story problems. The students will listen to a story and write a number bond and equation that matches.
An example; There are three birds sitting on a branch and 2 birds fly away. How many birds are there all together?
SAXON, SIGHT WORDS, BLENDS & MORE
We will be focusing on blending/ reading words and discussing how e makes a long and short sound. Our Sight Words are: many, use, each & which.
Our blend is gl. Here is the slideshow that we will watch in class
Our word family is the en family. Here is a Youtube video.
We are also drilling in on the other sight words learned this year and ending sounds. I am not testing the students on sight words right now, but they will be reading a Sight Word Reader Book.
READING
We did not get to The Royal Family last week, so we will be reading it this week. Then we will read the story King Midas and the Golden Touch. We will use the story to focus on comprehension, retelling and figuring out the meaning of unknown words.
The vocabulary for the story is: fond, gazed, satisfied, spoiled and treasured.
(Click the title above to read the story.)
Writing
We will be writing our opinions about King Midas. Do we like him, not like him. Explain why, while still following our Writing Rubric.
