The Essential Question with our Wonders program is: How do animals help each other? We will be talking and reading about how animals help each other when looking for food, eating, and sometimes survival.
This week we have a new long vowel study: Ee with the spelling patterns of e, ea, ee: me, feed, seat, we, keep, beak Our Sight Words are: other, because - - with exposure to: blue, into, or, small With our math program have focused on place value and money. Once place value is understood money becomes very easy. If you look at this amount: $1.25. we can easily switch our place value understanding to money. It would look like this: 1 flat, 2 longs, five cubes. We will continue working with fact triangles. We already know about the Commutative Property of Addition (turn-around facts). If 5 + 3 = 8 then 3 + 5 = 8. Using just the numbers 3, 5, 8 we know two additional subtraction facts automatically: 8 – 5 = 3, 8 – 3 = 5. Word Problems will appear several times this week helping us to understand the “math” that is involved with all the extra “words”. This week in Science we will answer the question: Why do the stars come out at night? Your children have learned so much about the sun and shadows. It will be great to now learn about the stars. We will be participating in the Read A Thon on Thursday in the Library. A sheet was sent home just before vacation explaining this wonderful fundraiser. We had such a great time at the Historical Society. A huge thank you to the wonderful volunteers who made “long ago” so interesting. Below are pictures from our visit.
