It is a literary nonfiction story. We will be working on a tricky pattern this week. It's the er, ur, ir pattern. Last we we learned the "ar" pattern and then the week before, we learned the "or" and "ore" pattern. Due to the short week and the complexity of practicing and mastering this phonics pattern, we are not doing challenge words or dictation sentences. Please feel free to challenge your student and work on applying this pattern to other words. We will be working on recognizing fact verses an opinion also! :) CHINESE: We are continuing unit 8 in Mandarin Matrix this week. Students will review the story, "I Don't Want to Go to School," and read two new stories called "Staying At Home" and "Where Is Little Mountain Goat?" These two stories will reinforce the characters students learned last week: today 今, is/are/am 是, yesterday 昨, tomorrow 明. We will be reinforcing the following key language features: “Don’t want to….”, “Today is…”, “Yesterday was…”, “Tomorrow is…”, “….and….draw together/watch a movie together”, “…will or will not…”, “…can go…”, “Do you want to…or not?”, “Where is …?”, “Is…at…?”. The secret word this week is: lantern. Students may only share the secret word with their teachers (and not with other students) to get a treat for their family having read the blog! Woohoo! MATH: Students are finishing unit 9 in math this week! We have been working on comparing numbers using symbols (greater than, less than, or equal to). We will probably start unit 10 this week, which focuses on "Using models and strategies to add tens and ones". SCIENCE AND SOCIAL STUDIES: In science and social studies, students will continue to learn about Chinese New Year traditions, activities, and symbolism. We will also be talking about what is in the sky, as well as rocks and soil!
