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. We will continue to review strategies that can help us solve number sentences and word problems such as ten frames, using objects and using a number line. We will continue to review all the key words that tell us we are working with addition like in all, altogether, combine, join, sum, etc. Monday through Wednesday, students will independently complete work on Seesaw during math groups after the whole group mini lesson online. When students return to school, we will use the book, “1001 Animals to Spot” for students to create their own addition word problems using the animals in the book. Please make sure students are continuing to practice counting to 100 every night as this is part of this unit. Please make sure students are fluent in making all the combinations to 10 like 0 and 10, 1 and 9, 2 and 8, etc. Students also need to be fluent in finding all the combinations in numbers less than 10. This would be something good to practice at home! You can also give students word problems and number sentences and have them choose a strategy of their choice to solve. . 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 work on missing addends using the inverse operation and balancing equations to find missing addends. 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 start our unit on Avid Readers. Students will be invited to become avid readers by choosing a spot to read, making a stack of books, and reading a bunch of books because avid readers can’t stop reading. After choosing a spot and books, students might set a timer for 10-15 minutes of reading, though of course, as avid readers, they could choose to read for even longer! They will read independently and record their thinking leaving post-its or pieces of paper in spots that gave them a big reaction or important thoughts to share with a family member or reading partner later on. Students will also practice jotting down symbols on sticky notes or pieces of paper and leaving them at that spot in their book so they can remember it later when talking with their partners. In phonics, we will review vowel teams-ee, ea, ai, and ay and review that when two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking. For read aloud, we will read, “One Plastic Bag” to connect to our unit in science of reducing, reusing, and recycling materials to keep the environment clean. In writing, we will continue our persuasive/opinion unit. We will continue to generate more writing for important causes that we see all around us. We will practice making signs, posters, letters, songs, etc. We will practice rereading and fixing up our writing when something doesn’t look right, sound right, or make sense. We will review spelling strategies to give writers word power. We will also delve deeper into writing to spread the word about important problems. We can hang up posters in the bathroom if students are leaving their paper towels on the floor, write a letter to the principal for students who might be running in the hall, etc. In science, we will focus on plants and living vs. nonliving things. We will watch a few fun BrainPop Jr. videos and inquire about pictures by stating things we notice and wonder. As always, please let me know if you have any questions! Alexis
