Grammar: We will be learning about contractions this week. A contraction is a word or phrase that has been shortened by dropping one or more letters. In writing, an apostrophe is used to indicate the place of the missing letters. Words like can't (can + not), don't (do + not), and I've (I + have) are all contractions. People use contractions in both speaking and writing.
Phonics: This weeks phonics pattern we will about vccv words. A VCCV word is a two-syllable words with the pattern vowel-consonant-consonant-vowel in the middle of the word. The word breaks into two syllables after the first consonant. Red words for the week are: any, every, could, about. Please practice red words at home. Red words do not follow learned patterns or rules. Therefore it is important to memorize how to spell them. We do not sound these words out. We identify them by letter names. Example: was w-a-s not /w/ /u/ /z/. Practice at home writing the words in fun ways, tracing them, or even jumping them out.
Reading: We will learn about sequence of events in a story. Identifying the sequence of events in a story means you can pinpoint its beginning, its middle, and its end. Once you can identify each of these core components, you can retell the story in the order in which it occurred.
Writing: The students will work on informational writing this 9 weeks. Informational writing is a type of nonfiction writing that conveys information about something, which means it is factual. Many examples of informational writing can be found in newspapers, almanacs, and reference books. ... Informational text is often organized so the reader can easily and quickly find information.
Math: We will be working place value. We will be ordering numbers, skip counting, working on odd and even numbers using base 10 blocks.
Social Studies: We will continue to focus on Creek and Cherokee Native Americans. We will learn how they adapted to their environments, which tools they used, which Georgia region they lived in, what they grew on their land, what type of clothing they used, and the homes that they lived in.
