Peek at the Week

What We Are Learning

Math:

This week we will focus on a very important concept called "Making a Ten to Add". We will be discussing how 10 is a friendly number, and we can put other numbers together to make it easier to anchor to a 10.  This builds on our math concepts last week of understanding teen numbers.

Students will be expected to manipulate numbers to create a ten, to make it easier to add.  Here is an example:

8 + 5
8 + 2 + 3
8 + 2 = 10, 10 + 3= 13

Reading & Word Work

This week we will focus on important story elements such as key details in the text and main characters.

Our word study will be the vowel teams ai  and ay, both making the long a sound.  Many of our words for the week are also sight words.  Students should be practicing these words nightly.

ai:  air, pain, tail, jail, snail
ay: always, away, day, may, today, play, say, way

Extra Sight Words: across, again, along, long
