Hi Parents!
I hope you all have fantastic weekend! Here is what’s going on next week:
Numbers to 10- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woqBQG7LG8s Alphabet- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xuZxGirWQI
In math, we will continue with our addition and subtraction unit. We will continue practicing switching back and forth between addition and subtraction. This is something you can practice at home since it can be confusing. I have been reminding students to watch their signs and if they see a plus sign, we have 2 groups because 2 lines make up a + sign. If they see a minus sign, they will have one group and take away from that group since a minus sign only has one line. Students will make a kite with a number of their choice and come up with addition and subtraction number sentences that equal that number. We will also begin working on missing addends like 4+___=10. We will learn that we can count on from 4 to 10 to find the missing addend. We will talk about also finding a missing addend by using subtraction and solving 10-4. We will talk about other strategies like using the number line, objects, ten frames, etc. Even though we are working on subtraction, please make sure students are still reviewing addition key words and solving addition word problems and number sentences using the strategies we have learned. Students also need to be able to find all the number combinations that makes any number 10 or less. Students can also review subtraction word problems, number sentences, and key words. . Here are the standards for our unit: MGSEK.CC.1Count to 100 by ones and by tens. MGSEK.OA.1Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings, sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations. MGSEK.OA.3Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each decomposition by a drawing or equation. (drawings need not include an equation). MGSEK.OA.5Fluently add and subtract within 5. MGSEK.OA.4For any number from 1 to 9, find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record the answer with a drawing or equation. MGSEK.OA.2Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem. MGSEK.MD.3Classify objects into given categories; count the numbers of objects in each category and sort the categories by count. MGSE1.MD.4Organize, represent, and interpret data with up to three categories; ask and answer questions about the total number of data points, how many in each category, and how many more or less are in one category than in another. MGSE1.NBT.7Identify dimes, and understand ten pennies can be thought of as a dime. (Use dimes as manipulatives in multiple mathematical contexts.) Accelerated students will take their post assessment on addition and subtraction and pre assessment on place value. Please make sure students practice counting by 1’s and 10’s to 100 every night if needed. For students who have mastered this standard, you can practice counting by 1’s to 200 and/or skip counting by 2’s, 3’s, 4’s, 5’s, etc. In ELA, we will continue with our Lucy Calkins reading and writing units of study. In reading, students will continue to read their nonfiction books. As they read, they’re encouraged to act out parts of their books to help them learn new information either by themselves or with a family member. Students will also read familiar poems and songs that they have been learning across the year. As they read, we will think about the meaning of the poem and how the characters are feeling. Then, they’ll reread the poem matching the meaning and characters’ feelings. In phonics, we will be learning about words ending in: -ink, -ank, -onk, -unk. For read aloud, we will be reading, “The Big Buck Adventure” and connect it to our social studies economics unit on needs and wants. We will also read poems from “The Frog Wore Red Suspenders,” “A Pizza the Size of the Sun,” and “Runny Babbit Returns.” In writing, we will finish up persuasive writing and move more into opinion writing. Students will be writing their opinion about the best pet, the best color, the best food, etc. Students will learn to state their opinion first by saying things like, “In my opinion,” “I think,” “I feel,” and “I believe.” Just like in our persuasive writing, students need to give reasons for their opinion. We will also work on a concluding sentence to sum up their opinion. In social studies, we will talk about saving and spending, earning money, and scarcity. We will do a fun jeopardy review game including what we are learning next week and goods, services, needs, and wants. As always, please let me know if you have any questions! Alexi
