Flashcards: Don't forget to make new flashcards for each sight word and letter team. New words for this week are: MOTHER, FATHER, SISTER, BROTHER, FAMILY. There are NO new letter teams for the rest of the year - so study ALL old letter team flashcards!
Phonemic Awareness: Please work with your child on the following Phonemic Awareness skills - rhyming, blending, segmenting, syllables, and beginning/middle/ending sounds. Please see our Phonemic Awareness tab for ideas and tips. Please check your child's report card from first trimester and see the Foundational Skills areas where they may still need support.
Reading: Play Smarty Ants for 10-15 minutes each night. In addition to Smarty Ants, we ask that you read your Book Bag every night. This includes: fluency passage, paper books, and library books.
Writing: Practice writing EVERY day. You can practice writing a 5 to 8 sentence Step up to Writing paragraph in your at-home journal.We have been using the transitional words first, next, and last. Some students are now adding explanation sentences to their details, making an eight sentence paragraph. For example: My spring break was so much fun. First, I went to Disneyland. I took a picture with Mickey Mouse. Next, I went horseback riding. I was a little scared but still enjoyed it. Last, I visited by grandma. I baked delicious chocolate chip cookies with her. My spring break was a busy and fun time.
Math: Play Dreambox for 10-15 minutes each night. Continue to discuss ways to make 5 (and ways to make 10!), numbers in base ten (in the number 16, how many tens and how many ones?), addition and subtraction number problems and word problems, 2D and 3D shapes, and the Doubles Song. Count the money in your bank.
