Literacy

This week, we will be looking at “long VCC - ild, -old, -ind, -olt, -ost”. Typically, VCC patterns are closed syllables because the consonants “close in” the vowel. The vowel typically makes it short sound.

“long VCC - ild, -old, -ind, -olt, -ost”

mild, mind, hold, host, bolt, child   

“Heart words”

people – because – friend – move - both

Math:

This week, we will be continuing with double digit subtraction (with regrouping/carrying and borrowing). We will continue to review addition and subtraction strategies (friends of ten doubles, doubles + 1, +2, bridging through ten) and add using “normal/traditional” method.

Extra Practice in math:

In literacy this week we are reviewing ou and ow sounds.  "ou" for the /ow/ sound is usually at the beginning or in the middle of the word and “ow” for ow is usually at the end.

cow – now – how – brow- sow - vow

Exceptions when N or L follow the ow, it is in the middle of a word.

Ex: down – town – crown – frown
