Hello All.
It's hard to believe that the Christmas holidays are already over and a week of school has already past. I hope everyone had some wonderful family time over the break.
Language Arts
Spelling:
The spelling words for the week of Jan 13 are as follows
on him went from made
Word Work:
This week our word family was the "all" family. We also started a program called making words. At least twice a week, we will be manipulating 5 to 6 letters in a "game-like/puzzle-solving" activity. The students enjoy manipulating the letters and are intrigued that changing just one letter in the word or changing the order of the letters can create a totally different word. They also like trying to figure out the secret word that uses all the letters in the particular lesson.
Writing:
We are continuing our inform and explain writing prompts. This weeks prompt was "How to make hot chocolate".
Math
In math this week, we continued working with addition to 12. Our main focus was counting on using a number line. For example, 5+2. Find 5 on the number line and count on 2 more. What number do you get to?
Also, encourage your children to log onto mathletics.ca at home and spend some time every day doing some math problems. Their log in information is in the front of their agendas. I have access to all the information and know exactly how they do on each activity.
Science
We are still finishing up our needs of animals unit. Once finished we will begin the My Senses unit.
Social
In social we began talking about urban and rural communities and what we would see, hear, and smell in these two types of communities.
I hope you have all had a great first week as we have.
Mr. Aasen
