What Are We Learning This Week?:

Sight Words: ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE.

Letter Team:  ONG (like in SONG) and ONK (like in HONK).  

Reading: This week we are reading books all about our 100th Day of School! 

Writing:  We have some fun writing assignments this week. We will be writing all about our first 100 days of school, what we would do if we had $100, and what we would look like if we were 100 years old. 

Math: We will continue our unit on addition and subtraction as we learn all the strategies to help us add and subtract numbers. Last week we focused on drawing a picture. This week our focus will be using fingers and putting the big number in our head and counting on. We will also celebrate our 100th Day of school this week by counting and writing to 100. Keep practicing those addition and subtraction math tests at home so you can pass your next level this week!

Leadership: We will continue to ROAR and discuss what it means to have a growth mindset!

Homework: January 21-24

Flashcards: Make flashcards for our new sight words (ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE), and letter teams (ONG and ONK). Study flashcards every day.

Phonemic Awareness: Please work with your child on: rhyming, blending, segmenting, syllables, and beginning/middle/ending sounds. 


Reading: Make sure that you are reading your book bag every night! This probably seems like a lot, but I just want to give each student the opportunity to read, read, read! We are learning that readers get better at reading by.. READING! 

Continue to log onto Smarty Ants for 10-15 at least a few times a week. 

Writing: Write in your at-home journal every day.


Math: We have started our unit on addition and subtraction. Please review your child's pre-test that came home to see what skills they need to work on. Please also review your child's Math Facts Tests that come home weekly to reinforce addition and subtraction at home! You can also find these pages uploaded on ParentSquare! 


QR Codes: Download and print the QR Code practice pages on ParentSquare. Work on these pages together. 

SPECIAL TURN-IN PROJECT!!!!!!: We would like our students to practice counting to 100 by collecting 100 items to bring to school. Help them choose something small like 100 beans, 100 buttons, 100 pennies, 100 cotton balls, etc.Be creative! Help them put their collection into a paper “mystery bag” with their name on it (like a brown paper lunch bag that we cannot see through!). When they bring it to school, the class will try to guess what they brought! We will be doing fun activities with these collections all week long! These 100 Collections will be due Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday! Please DO NOT BRING ON FRIDAY!
