Sight Words: help, off
Reading:
We have began reviewing comprehension skills that have been taught and learned throughout the year. One of the big ones that will be tested this nine weeks is comparing and contrasting. We compare and contrast books that are on the same topic and similar and also characters within a story and how they are the same and different.
Accuracy: This week we learned about compound words. We learn that a compound word is 2 words that are combined together to make a new word. We started the week by watching a video and going over a chart together to gain background and understanding of a compound word. Throughout the week we practiced seeing 2 separate words and making a new compound word. We used Google Slides and picture cards to practice this skill.
Vocabulary: This week students listened to the story "The Tiny Seed" by Eric Carle. This is a great book about a little tiny seed that started so small and turned into the biggest flower.
iPads: This week students used Pic EDU to record the beginning, middle, and end of a story that I sent them in the app EPIC. They used the font tool to write sentences, the stickers to find their answer using pictures and the doodle feature to write their addition sentence.
The second round students practiced making and reading compound words with a new app called Compound Words with Gama. They loved practicing with this portion brewing word app!
Writing: This week we have finished our units of writing and have begun writing fun different pieces of writing including lists! We started by making a list of all the kinds of lists we can make. For example we can make a list of food we like, sports we play, places to go, toys we want, books we like, etc.
Math: This week we reviewed skills that have been taught this year. We specifically spent time practicing ways to make a number 1-9. We practiced finding the answer with counters and recording our answers in a number bond, and by using a picture.
iPads: This week students used PicEDU to solve addition story problems. Given to each kiddo was a bag of addition story problems that they read through. They completed the task by following these steps:
1. Take a picture of the story problem card within the app.
2. Use the doodle feature to circle the 2 numbers in the story.
3. Use the sticker feature to work out the problem and find the answer.
4. Use the doodle feature to write the addition sentence with the answer.
Content: This week we began our 2 week unit on plants. We also began working on things for the end of the year including planning and designing our "cars" for the KINDY 500, creating our special Mother's Day craftivity, and preparing for graduation.
We also took our field trip to the Indianapolis Zoo this week! Take a look at some of the fun we had!
