LEARNING TOPICS - week of February 10-13

Listed below is a quick outline of what we are learning in the classroom. On the right side of this page (or below if you are on a phone) click for more details on each topic.

 

Reading and Writing: CKLA Skills Unit 6

• In this unit, students will learn the names of all 26 lowercase letters.
• Because students now have a good understanding of letter-sound correspondence and blending skills, letter names are now used and practice throughout this unit.
• Students will also learn how to blend and segment consonant clusters in this unit. A consonant cluster consists of two or more consonant sounds, one after the other, without an intervening vowel sound (example: stop, ask, clap).
• We will work on tapping the sounds for 3-5 letter words and blending them together to read or say the whole word.
• Students will also learn that there are tricky spellings for many words. Words that do not follow a given “rule” for the English language are referred to in Skills as tricky spellings. In this unit, students will learn that ‘s’ is sometimes sounded /z/, as in is, his, and runs.
  
  

 

SCIENCE AND SOCIAL STUDIES: the 7 Continents of the World

Your child will be learning about the seven continents of the world. By the end of the unit, your student should be able to identify where each continent is on a map. We will also be learning about the land, weather, people and animals of each continent.

 

Savvas Envision Math: Topic 9: Numbers to 20

Your child is learning to count, read, and write numbers from 11 through 20. He or she will learn to count forward from any number to 20. Your child will also learn to use logical reasoning to solve problems when there is more than one possible solution.

Try this activity with your child to practice counting objects and counting forward from any number to 20.

Make a Group of Objects

Use 20 small objects such as pennies, buttons, paper clips, or paper squares. Ask your child to make a group with 15 objects and write the number 15 on a piece of paper. Then add objects to the group one at a time as you count forward to 20 with your child. Finally, ask your child to write the numbers you counted. Then repeat the activity with a

different number of objects.
