Weekly Happenings!
Our Goals This Week
Monday
Skills: We will practice adding –ing to words. Sometimes we drop the silent “e” before adding –ing (like make → making).
Listening & Learning: We will learn about the prefix in–, which means “not,” and talk about how to use it.

Tuesday

Listening & Learning: We will learn the new word summoned (called for someone to come).
Math: We will use models (like base-ten blocks or drawings) to add two-digit numbers and explain how we solved them.
Wednesday
Skills: We will use an editing checklist to fix and improve our retelling of The Milk.
Listening & Learning: We will learn the new word mission (a job or goal to do).
Math: We will practice adding 2-digit numbers using models.
Thursday
Skills: We will read The Hare and the Hedgehog and answer questions. Then we will write 3 sentences about the beginning, middle, and end of the story.
Listening & Learning: We will learn the phrase: “Where there’s a will, there’s a way” (if you keep trying, you can do it).
Math: We will practice adding numbers using place value and partial sums (breaking numbers apart).
Friday

We will read How the Hedgehog Tricked the Hare and answer questions about what the characters did.
Listening & Learning: We will learn the word Spartan (a person from Sparta, who was tough and strong).
