Because this week was a short week and the topics we will be studying are vast, students will immerse themselves in the study of these topics until October 19, which will be the assessment day. Here are our focuses:
1) Poem entitled "Baby's New Bib" Grandma made a baby bib, with her sewing kit. She cut the cloth and used a pin to make the new bib fit. Then she sewed the bib together bit by bit by bit. Skills: short vowel /i/, pronunciation-importance of enunciating ending sounds, fluency, sentence structure, vocabulary, syllables, stanzas, consonant digraphs (th) 2) American Currency We will identify the name and the value of the penny, nickel, dime and quarter. We will be using a fun song from Youtube. We will use this information to count by groups in the denominations of 1, 5, 10 and 25, and also make change by playing store (finding the sum of prices & subtracting, with or without regrouping depending on grade level appropriateness). The concept of "playing store" will also be in line with... 3) Fruits and vegetables Students will name, match, sort, write, etc. the pictures and names of the following fruits and vegetables.
