Math: On Monday
we began our third unit, Five and Ten Relationships. We began by representing numbers in a
ten-frame, recognizing numbers in a ten-frame, and exploring parts that make up
ten. This unit will wrap up next week
with an assessment. Up next will be our
fourth unit, Addition and Subtraction Facts to 12. Check out this link on the blog for addition
and subtraction math games: http://mrsleary1a.blogspot.com/p/math-resources-and-games.html
Phonics: On Monday we began our third unit which
introduces digraphs (two letters working together to make one sound).
Additional topics covered in this unit are phoneme segmentation, the use of the
question mark in sentence dictation, narrative story form, reading orally with
prosody and expression and retelling a story with picture notes and visualization. The unit will span two weeks.
Religion: In
Religion we are continuing to learn about the life of Jesus as a child. Students have had interesting discussions
about his life as a child and next week we will end the unit with an
assessment. Once the assessment is
completed we will begin to learn about Jesus and his ministry on Earth.
Science: Check out our five senses experiments on the
blog below as well as more about our trip to Moose Hill! http://mrsleary1a.blogspot.com/
Guided Reading: Guided reading began this week! Each group met for two different
instructional sessions. Students worked
to read independently, chorally, and through page alternation in their small
group. Written response follows many
sessions. Some groups will move to a new
book next week, while others will continue for one or two more sessions before
they move on.
Have a great long weekend!
