Hello again, Parents! I am sure your students are missing school as much as you and I are! Our safety and warmth are important during this hard winter, though, so we will make do until this lets up! Thank you for all your help and support. The students are all staying on level ground despite our terrible winter. They are great! Below is the list for the work to be done at home today. We will get back into our daily worksheets next week.
1. Phonics: Review all the new word families of: "ing" "ank" and "ank". Help your student think of as many of these words as they can. For help with these, look through the Phonic Stories or the back of each reading book.
2. Please review all our service words from the reading books, as well as the sight words from the original page. Have your child work on some of the words that they struggle with. Write 5 sentences using our service words.
3. Reading: Book 22 AND the Phonic Stories. Read our most current stories, and read at least 7 from the past lessons.
4. Number Skills: Please continue to work on the concept of subtraction. Use both written problems, and use physical items, such as buttons, toothpicks, crayons or small items, both adding nd subtracting. Give your child 5 word problems verbally and have your child write the problem out, with the answer, and correct symbol.
5. Science: Ask your child what a Botanist does. Does a seed have a coat? What does vascular (veins) and non vascular (no veins) mean in a plant? What is the midrib? What 3 things does a plant need to grow? They have started on their lap books and are enjoying making them.
I hope to see you all on Monday, have a safe and warm weekend!
