Hi Parents!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Here is what’s going on next week:
In math, we will continue with our addition and subtraction unit. Please make sure students are fluent in identifying the number when added to another number that makes 10. For instance, if I say 7, students would need to say 3 because 7+3=10. If I said 0, students would need to say 10 because 10+0=10.We will review the strategies of drawing pictures, using objects, and using our fingers. We will learn about the part-part-whole strategy and counting on strategy. We will also begin working on addition word problems and knowing all the key words that tell us we are working with addition such as: total, sum, plus, join, altogether, in all, combined, etc. Students will also be working on finding several combinations of numbers that equal any number less than 10. For instance in the number 6, all the combinations are 0+6, 1+5,2+4,3+3,4+2,5+1, and 6+0. We will be applying this knowledge to solve a word problem such as: There are 6 pieces of candy. How many ways can you split the candy into 2 groups. Students will also work with habitat mats and animals from that habitat. They will create their own word problems and show a matching picture with their habitat mat. . 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 be working on different types of word problems: start unknown, change unknown, and total unknown. Students will work on writing a symbol for the unknown. We will use the CUBES strategy- Circle the numbers, Underline the key words, Box the key words, Evaluate, and Solve and Show your work. 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, we will practice reading different nonfiction books and talking about the nonfiction text features they include as well as discussing main idea and details. In phonics, we will do a review on l-blends such as bl, fl, sl and s blends like st, sw, sc, etc. For read aloud, we will read, “We are Extremely Very Good Recyclers” and connect this to conserving the environment and saving animal habitats. In writing, students will take their writing post assessment on How-To books. We will then begin our next unit on opinion writing! We will write to make the world a better place. We will think of problems we are seeing in our school (not picking up trash, running in the hall, talking in line, etc.) and in the community (littering, cutting down trees, etc.) and writing to solve these problems. We will discuss who we should write these for and how we can get the word out like hanging up signs and putting our books in the library. In science, we will continue talking about Jane Goodall and her conservation efforts as well as review habitats and animals. As always, please let me know if you have any questions! Alexis
