- Please continue to review time to the hour at home. Remind your student what each hand stands for (short= hour, long=minutes)
- We are working on counting by 5's (to 50) and by 2's (to 20). Please work on this orally with your student.
ReadingObjectives:
1. Begin reading and accurately blending words and sentences with hard and soft c and g.
2. Be able to verbalize understanding of the spelling rule applying to the sounds of c and g.
3. To read words and sentences with both sounds of /s/.
4. To continue to grow in reading fluency.
- READ, READ, READ! Have your child read to you at least 15 minutes a day!
- Remember to begin the lessons by reviewing our current sight words and reading over words/sentences from previous lessons. *Reviewing and repetition is key!
- This week we are reviewing soft and hard c/g. We are also focusing on long vowel words where /s/ stands for the /z/ sound.
- Please follow up each lesson and mini book review, by having your child read to you, a book at their appropriate level. This should be done at a separate time of the day from their OPG lesson.
Writing Objectives:
1. To be able to form all upper case letters properly on handwriting lines.
2. To be able to form all lower case letters properly on handwriting lines.
3. To be able to write first and last name properly on handwriting lines.
4. To be able to accurately copy a sentence (using handwriting lines) correctly
- Keep monitoring proper pencil grip and correct letter formation! Have your student self-correct any backward letter or number! They should be gaining speed and accuracy in their copywork, by this point in the year.
SpellingObjective
1. To be able to spell compound words
2. To understand and explain what a compound word is.
- This week we are focusing on spelling compound words. Sometimes this can be tricky for our students. They might want to leave a space between the two words (ex: sun set). If you see this happening, remind them that the two smaller words have joined to make a brand new word, therefore a space is not necessary.
