Reading:
 This
week’s focus: Helpful Kangaroo: When
you have tried all other strategies (Skippy Frog, Chunky Monkey etc.) you may
have to ask for help.

 

 
 

We will be focusing on contractions this week.  Please see the words of the week for
practice.

 

 
 

 
 

Writing:  At this point in the school year, students should
be using upper and lower case letters appropriately, spelling word wall words
correctly, sounding out unknown words phonetically(easily sounded out by the
reader), form all letters properly without reversals and consistently using
proper end punctuation and finger spaces.

 

 
 

Math:  We will continue to represent numbers to 50
in a variety of ways.  This week we will
be applying our skip counting skills to counting coins (pennies, nickels,
dimes, and quarters.)  To practice, have
your child count different combinations of coins.  For example 3 dimes, 1 nickel and 2 pennies
etc.

 

Please continue to practice the following:

 

·       Counting forward by 2’s starting at an odd
number (1, 3, 5, 7…)

 

·      
Count
by 2’s starting at an even number other than 2.

 

·      
Say “write
the number that has 2 tens and 3 ones” and have your child write the numeral
(23).  Try it several times this week
with numbers up to 50.

 

·      
One
and 2 more, one and 2 less than numbers to 50. What is 2 more than 25? 2 less
than 36? etc

 

·      
Ask
your child to represent a given number up to 50, using house hold items
(buttons, noodles etc).  Have them show you
the number in groups of 10’s and 1’s. 
For example; 34 would be 3 groups of 10 and 4 singles.

 

·      
Identify
odd/even numbers to 20.

 

·      
Place
five numbers (up to 50) in front of your child and have them order them from
least to greatest or greatest to least. 
Ask them how they know the order.

 

If your child is successful completing the
above tasks with numbers to 50, try the above using numbers to 100.
