Please have your child practice reading the words

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!

the –unk sound?

interesting words can your child find while reading at home?

 

 
 

Writing:

 

This week we
will be working on word choice by introducing the use of a thesaurus and using
more interesting/descriptive words in our writing.  We will also continue to focus on
conventions.

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

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