November Class Work

In math, we are practicing our doubles and they are really becoming more and more familiar. If they know their doubles..then they can do doubles plus one and doubles plus two. If you have time, quiz them on their doubles! Example- 4+4=8   3+3=6   6+6=12

In Religion, we are discussing the holy family and the birth of Jesus. We are also working on making up our own prayers and practicing how we can talk to God, anytime of the day and thank him for all the many gifts we have!

In Phonics,we have been working hard in phonics, we practiced the new glued sounds -all, -am, -an and applied these concepts to both reading and spelling. We read the controlled text "Macks and Bugs." Students were asked to "scoop" the sentences to practice reading with fluency. After reading we discussed the story and students made a story map about the characters, setting and main events of the story. Then students were asked to draw a picture about the story. This is a great way to practice comprehension and writing about reading.

TRICK WORDS: As we move along in our phonics program, more and more trick words are being added to our list. It is important to practice reading and spelling these trick words often at home with your child.
