Week at a Glance (Nov. 26 - Nov. 30)



 



 



 



 


 



Wednesday Night – Pack library books to be sent back Thursday. 



 



 



 



Nightly – Practice sight words, sound teams and read good fit
books/Raz-Kids. 



 



 


 



Literacy:



 



 



 



Words of the Week:  look, too, can, saw, asked



 



(Please highlight these on your high frequency word list)



 



Practice reading the words


If your child read them with ease, practice spelling the
words and/or writing a sentence using one of the words of the week.



 



 


 



Reading:  Although we have been practicing stretching
out sounds in words we don’t know, it is important your child knows that not
every word needs to be sounded out. For example they should know the sight
words which have been sent home “in a snap.” By reading over these words
quickly, without attempting to stop and show how we can sound them out, can
help make students’ reading more fluent.



 



 


 



Remember, you can make reading these words
(as well as the sight words each week) more engaging by playing a memory
matching game, writing words on a tic-tac-toe board, and/or playing “go fish”
with word cards.



 



 


 



Sound Team: “oo” (please highlight this on your sound team
sheet)



 



“oo” can make two sounds, as in “foot” and “loop”


Have your child practice reading words such as the
following:


good, food, cook, roof, noon, stood, hood, spoon



 



 



 



Reading strategies: Retell



 



This week we will be practicing retelling the important parts of a story
(characters, setting, sequence of important events, etc.). Have your child
provide a retell of his/her home reading books when reading at home.



 



 


 



Word Family: -ing How many words can you find that
end with ing?



 



 


 



Writing: Punctuation/Editing



 



This week we will be reviewing when to use punctuation (periods,
exclamation marks, question marks, and commas). Have your child write two
sentences about his/her day and practice using proper punctuation.



 



We are continuing to work on
editing/fixing-up our own writing. Students are asked to look at their writing
and fix mistakes involving punctuation, spelling, neatness, etc.


Students are also helping each other
with the editing process. They can work with a partner to collaborate and look
together for periods, neat printing, word wall words spelled correctly, etc.


To practice at home, both you and your
child can write a sentence and then help each other edit! (Be sure to make a
few common errors that your child can help you fix!)



 



 


 



Math (Numbers to 20):



 



Please take this
week to work on any of the following math concepts your child may be struggling
with:



 



1 more/less & 2 more/less



Counting forwards and
backwards from different starting points to 20


Identifying numbers to 20
(show your child a number and have him/her tell you the number)


Writing numbers to 20


Estimating amounts to 20


More/less/the same - look at
groups of objects and determine which group has more or less-we can count or
match the objects up to see which group has the extras. How can we make the
groups equal?


Part/part/whole questions and
number stories such as:



 



There are 10
dogs. 3 dogs are white so how many are brown?


I rolled 2 dice
and there are 9 dots altogether. There are 4 dots on one die, how many are on
the other die?


I want to buy a
toy for $9 but I only have $4. How many more dollars do I need?


I need 10 points
to win this game. I have 3 points. How many more points do I need?
