Literacy:

 

Words of the Week:  Review

 

We will take this
week to review the words we have added to our word wall thus far. Please review
and practice any that your child may still be struggling with. Refer to the
sheet already sent home.

 

 
 

 

 

Word Family:  -aw.  How many words can you think of that end with
the –aw sound?

 

 
 

Sound Teams:  

 

Please review all sound teams. (ee,ea,ou etc.)
Refer to sheet sent home previously.

 

 
 

Reading strategies: Check for
Understanding/Cross Checking

 

When students read they should be “cross checking”. This is a comprehension
strategy that encourages students to always be checking for understanding.  Students should always be asking themselves
the following questions – does it look right? Does it sound right? Does it make
sense?

 

 

 

Writing:  Connecting words

 

We will be learning how to make our writing more fluent by using connecting
or linking words. Students often write short/choppy sentences, however,
connecting words like and, so, with,
but, because can be used to connect two short sentences, or to add more
detail to a sentence. For example, rather than writing I like sliding. It is fun. Students
can use a connecting word to make a longer more fluent sentence I
like sliding because it is fun.

 

 

 

Math:

We
will be revisiting previous outcomes covered, but extending the concepts to

points
