Learning Targets:
Math- We have been learning addition strategies to 18. Now we are working on subtraction strategies to 18. The learning strategies with addition and subtraction are: doubles, doubles plus one, counting back, counting up, and counting on.
Reading- We continue to work on reading fluently and reading with expression. An important area in reading that we are focusing on is the main idea. The main idea is the BIG idea, or point that the author is trying to tell the reader. Also, your child is working on being able to tell 4 details about the story. The details need to sequential order and the details need to back up the main idea.
Language Arts- We are working on plurals and contractions. Plurals are words that mean more than one. Contractions are joining 2 words together.
Writing- We are writing informational stories. The students will begin researching on an animal and writing an informational story. Be on the lookout for a letter coming home for a at home project your child will need to do.
Social Studies- We are learning about the 7 continents and 5 oceans.
Technology- The children have learned to use WORD and type up a story. Your child knows how to make capital letters and use punctuation at the end of a sentence. Also, your child has learned to insert clip art. Some of the children know what to do if there is a red or green line under a word or sentence. Have your child get on the computer and create an informational story with clip art for you!
HEADS UP! We will begin assessing in 2 weeks on everything your child has learned these 9 weeks!
