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:

Weather

I know the weather has been very unpredictable but please try to send your child with everything they need for outside. There is snow on the playground so students need boots, snow pants or splash pants, mittens, hat and a coat. Some students were very unprepared for the cold temperatures this week. We will continue to go outside three times a day. Thank you.

Math:Double digit subtraction worksheet.

Math Homework:This week, students have a double-digit subtraction math sheet. We have been working on this concept for a few weeks. It is very important that students start with the ones/units with each question.

Literacy

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.

“ou”

out – couch – mouse – loud – about - house

“ow”

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
