During week 4 we will tread lightly on the subject of pets. We will read/listen to various selections about pets including a nonfiction selection about White House Pets. Our oral vocabulary words are adorable, dear, needs, sensible, and train. We will continue the comprehension strategy of analyzing story structure using the skill of recognizing parts of the plot. Our sight words will be come, down, good, pull. In spelling we will focus on words having an initial consonant blend with the letter 'l' (fl-, pl-, cl-). We will continue working our way through seminar. Those students who are ready may start working on publishing their pieces. At this point it would be helpful for some students to have access to a personal flashdrive for the purpose of publishing their work and creating a digital portfolio. I can hold onto flashdrives or they can be kept in backpacks. They do not need a large storage capacity. It is helpful if they have some identifying characteristic (label or keychain).
In Social Science we will discuss traditions in a variety of contexts, for example, the classroom, community, and family. (HSS 1.5.1) We will also begin comparing the past with the present (tested) reading a nonfiction selection titled Learn About the Past.
In Math we will begin topic 5. Our focus will be the number 10 as we use physical models, diagrams, tables, and expressions to form equivalencies (NS 1.3).
Last week's Science lesson will become this week's lesson.
