 Tuesday Night – Pack library books to be sent back Wednesday.  (They did not get library books last week as

Literacy:

 

Words of the Week:

Please have your child practice reading the words
of the week each night.

 

·       If he/she reads
them with ease, try spelling them. You can also have him/her write a sentence
using one of the words of the week. Check that he/she is using uppercase
letters only when necessary (first word in sentence/someone’s name/word I),
leaving finger spaces between words, and using end punctuation.

 

·       You can create a
tic-tac-toe board on a sheet of paper (with one of the words of the week
printed in each square and/or any other words your child may have struggled
with in past weeks). In order to put an “x” or “o” in a square, he/she must
read the word correctly first!

 

 
 

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

 

 
 

Sound Teams:  ea for the short e sound.  (You will have to add this to the original
list.)

 

Have students read the following words:  thread,
head, bread, instead and point out
how these words do not follow the 2
vowels go walking rule. (bead, heat, meat etc)

This week we will be tuning in to interesting words
in the books that we read.  How many
interesting words can your child find while reading at home?

This week we
will be working on word choice and using more interesting/descriptive words in
our writing.  We will also continue to
focus on conventions.

 

 

 

Math: 

 

We
will be applying mental math strategies to determine basic addition facts to 18

practice the following at home:

 

·       Using doubles to 18 (6+6=12 so 6+7 is 13 –
just one more than the double).

Making
10 (1+9, 7+3)
