READING:
This week our class will be reading stories about the ways we can protect our environment. Children will learn about endangered animals and the ways we can help protect animals in their habitats.
Here are some activities that you can do with your child to help reinforce the skills we will be practicing.
· Vocabulary—environment, protect—Discuss ways your child can help to protect the environment, such as reducing, reusing, and recycling resources.
· Sightwords—WE DID IT! We’ve introduced ALL 51 of our sightwords and I’ll be assessing the students on their sightwords this week for report cards.
· Category Words—names of baby animals—Gather stuffed animals, animal toys, or animal books. Point to and identify the name of each animal, and then state the corresponding baby animal’s name.
· Phonics—Review long a, e, i, o, u
· Reading Folders—I’m planning to send take home reading folders home this week Monday and Wednesday and then collect them as we wrap up our year—Great Job Reading at Home!
WRITING:
This week we will share our informational texts via Author’s Chair. We will create another digital story about our fieldtrip to Kettunen Center and email it to our parents. If you are NOT receiving emails from your child, please let me know so I can troubleshoot! :) We will also work on our Father’s Day cards and will be creating a personal timeline of our lives—past, present, & future.
MATH:
This week we will continue to work on adding and subtracting within 10—the students are doing a great job with addition & subtraction!

This week we will continue learning about Summer Safety and read several narrative and informational texts related to Ocean Animals.
