Upcoming Star of the
Week: Peter
Math: This week
students have worked to find the missing parts of 6, 7, 8, and 9. During the
second half of this week we have worked to write subtraction number sentences
and have worked on stories about taking away.
Next week we will work on stories about missing parts, connecting models
and symbols to subtraction, and subtraction problem solving.
Phonics: On Monday we began our second unit which
focuses on blending and segmenting three sound words with a review on tapping
as a skill, sentence dictation procedures and story retelling. This unit will also introduce our first sight
words. We call these sight words “trick
words” in FUNdations.
Reading: Guided
Reading groups will begin during the first week of October. Next week will work to identify character
traits with A Bad Case of Stripes.
Look below on the blog for our first lesson with this skill using Chrysanthemum.
Religion: In
Religion we have been learning about the Trinity. We are celebrating the feast of St. Francis
and have been learning about St. Francis as a role model.
Science: We
continued our study of the five senses this week with exploration of
taste. We explored the different taste
words sour, sweet, spicy, salty, and tart.
Some pictures from our lesson are below.
Have a great weekend!
