We are Learning About:

Reading: Read 20 minutes daily. Keep filling in the May Reading Log each day. Thank you!

Phonics/Groves: We have begun learning about DIGRAPHS. Digraphs are unique because they make one sound, but are spelled with two letters. We are working on the /ch/ , /sh/ , and /th/ sounds. Please make sure your child is watching the lesson videos of the “Rhyming” or “Groves.” Phonics each school day. The children need to be “acting” (hand gestures) out what we do together & saying the things I ask them to. Also, they need to be doing the work in the workbook along with me. Use the “pause” button on your computer to stop the video so that your child has time to write.

Writing: Your child should be writing one-two stories each week. Use the brown book that says, “Writing” on it. They should only use pencil (even for the picture), and they should only be given at the most two minutes to draw the picture. Remind your child they should use a capital at the beginning of the sentence and there should be a period at the end of the sentence. Also, they should have a “finger space” between each word. Parents, you are NOT aloud to spell any words for them. They should “tap” out the word and “stretch” it out (listen for the sounds they hear by saying the word slowly), then write the word as they hear the sounds. They know how to do this.

Math: We are on Topic 16: Graphing. Vocabulary: : survey, picture graph, real graph, bar graph, fewest, as many, more likely, less likely

Religion: We will learn about ”God Cares For Us and ALL He has Made.”

Humanities: We will learn about, “Alexander the Great Conquers Egypt” & “Egypt Falls to Rome.”

Science: Please have your child watch one or two videos each week on the Scholastic site (below). Make sure your child is clicking on the comprehension questions, etc.

Star of the Day

One student (puppet) will be the “Star of the Day.” They will get to help with the morning calendar routine!

Memory/Sight Words

Memory/Sight words are words we find in every sentence we read. Students must know these words to be able to read a sentence. Students should memorize these words, NOT sound them out. Please practice these words every day, both reading them and spelling them.

Read Aloud

“Thank You, Mr. Falker” is one of my favorite books to read. I cry every time I read it.
