Our question of the week is "Who Helps Animals?" Our story is titled "Pig in a Wig" It is an animal fantasy story. We will be talking about the plot of the story as well as being able to summarize what happened in the story. We will be working on our short /i/ sound as well the consonant x/ks/. This week, the spelling words will be pretty simple for these bright students, again, so we will be practicing other words that follow the same pattern. A spelling list will be coming home with your child on Monday! We will also be working on writing complete sentences and being able to identify the subject of the sentence. We are still working on remembering our capital letters at the beginning and our punctuation at the end. We are learning more stations for our skill based instruction. This week, we will continue to be working on buddy reading and adding additional stations to the routine! We have been really successful with keeping our volume level at the appropriate volume but we are still working on staying focused with the station task at hand and completing it the whole task! CHINESE: This week, students are reviewing the topics covered in the first four weeks of school: family, friends, animals, clothing, and colors. Students will continue to focus on talking about animals they like and do not like, as well as what animals need and where they live. Most exciting of all: students will begin to learn characters this week! We hope your students will feel confident and optimistic as they start to develop their writing skills. MATH: We are still working on topic 1 in math which is addition and subtraction problems to 10. The students are making great strides in counting to 10 in Chinese as well as recognizing math vocabulary in Chinese. HOMEWORK: We will have reading fluency, beat the clock, spelling practice and read for 10 minutes. Please remember to adapt the homework if needed. If it needs to be more challenging, use the same procedure and use a more advanced text!
For example: I read 53 words TOTAL including all the errors I made and I made 6 errors throughout the passage. My “parent” would take 53 words minus 6 which equals 47 words per minute. (53-6=47) Our Winter goal is for oral reading fluency is 24+ words in 1 minute with accuracy of 75%. Here’s to an awesome week!
