The last two weeks in phonics, we learned the vowel teams ai and ay sound like long a, as in rain and pay. We also learned the vowel teams ea and ee sound like long e, as in leaf and tree. Our HFWords were: because, blue, into, or, other and small. Next week, our focus is Unit 4 Week 3 on the High Frequency Word List, sent home in the report card envelope!
In reading, we have been learning about how animals help each other in animal teams. We read a lot of nonfiction texts, with captions and charts. Our focus was finding the main idea and key details of each story. We read Animal Teams, A Team of Fish, Busy as a Bee, and Bats! Bats! Bats!
Math this week was focused on finding 1 more, 1 less, 10 more, and 10 less both mentally and using a 100 chart, & then comparing numbers using greater than, less than, and equal to. We watched a quick video on the alligator chomping the biggest number when using the symbols >,< and =. We will quiz topic 9 next week before Valentine's day.
