PHONICS
Oral blending
*tell your child they will be blending the sounds you say to make words

*say these sounds:
/s/ /ē/            /t/ / ē/           /r/ /ē/ /d/             /f/ /l/ / ē/
        (see)             (tea)              (read)               (flee or flea)

(seats)                      (speak)                       (sleeps)

*review high frequency words:
find, around, under, wash, here, not

(if you made flashcards, you can practice high frequency words for 5 minutes a day)

Page 235 Build Fluency  
*read directions together
*reread list on page 225 to review ea and ee spellings for long ē

questions #1-4
*students will complete sentences using at least one word with ea or ee spelling in each sentence

(words you can suggest if they are stuck: beach, seed, peach, tree, eat, peas, sleep, teacher)

question #5-6
*students will write a sentence using each pair of words

***Please send me a picture of page 235***

Oral Segmentation (breaking words up)
*say these words to your child, ask them to segment each word (break the words apart sound by sound)

You say: me             Your child says: /m/ /ē/

Meat, see, sleep, sleeps, bee, bees, beach, teeth, these

(this activity will help your child to think about how words are taken apart, which will them when they have to spell a word)

Page 236 Word Ladder
*start at the bottom
*read the clues and have your child write words going up the ladder
(answers: seed, feed, fed, bed, bead)

*extra work for fun: page 225 box #4 Write a story using long ē words from the list on page 225. Put a box around any words you used from the list.)

(If you do this please send me a picture of it)

Take a quick break-jog in place-move your arms and fingers-calming breaths

READING
We are continuing to read books about living and working in communities.  Today’s book is The Night Worker.

*please fill in small anchor chart

Title: The Night Worker

Author: Kate Banks

Illustrator: Georg Hallensleben

*discuss vocabulary
engineer-(person who is  trained to design and build things)
mammoth-(huge)
hoist-(to lift something very heavy)
gravel-(small loose stones)
cement-(gray power used to make concrete)
concrete-(a building material made of mixed up sand, gravel, cement, and water) (sometimes people use the words cement and concrete as the same thing)
bulldozer-(powerful tractor with a wide blade at the front, used to move dirt and rocks)
excavator-(machine used to dig up dirt)
foundation-(the base on which a building is built)

*listen to/watch the story on youtube.com

Ask:         ‘What is Papa’s job?’ (engineer, builds buildings)

                ‘Why do you think these people work at night?’
(some people do work on the building during the day and some work at night, this way the building is built faster than if people only work on it during the day)

‘In the story it says ‘the men look at the plans of the project.’ Why do you think this it is important to have plans?’
(Plans help everyone know what has to be done and they will do things the same way because of the plans.)

‘When Alex got to push the levers for the loader, how do you think he felt?’ (excited, scared, proud)

‘When the author says ‘all motion stopped like a held breath’ what do you think she meant?’

(Ideas:    *work was ending for the day
*sometimes when we finish something hard we have been working on, we might take a deep breath because we are proud of the work we did
*in the story when the whistle blew to end the day everything stopped for a minute, like when the fire drill bells rings and we all stop and look at each other then get on line to leave)

Recess-eat-play-get some fresh air

MATH
*review ordinal numbers 1st through 10th (put 10 different objects in a line
*label the 1st object and have your child identify the positions using ordinal numbers by having them write 2nd through 10th on sticky notes or pieces of paper and labeling the objects

Page 387 Ordinal Number 11th through 20th
*read this story to your child (point out pictures inside the blue rope):
        The wind-up toys are on shelves.
We don’t see the first 10 toys, but we can see the 11th toy and the toys after it.
The 11th toy is an elephant.
The last toy is a drummer.
What is the ordinal number for the drummer? (20th)

*read and discuss information inside the blue rope (point out that there are two ways to write ordinals: ordinal numbers and ordinal number words)
*point out that all the ordinal numbers 11th through 20th all end with ‘th’
*read the ordinal numbers together 11th through 20th
*read directions and write ordinal numbers for each toy

(Do questions #1-4 together. If your child understands it, then let them continue #5-10 independently. If your child need more help, do #5-8 together, then let them do #9-10 independently.)

question #11 Talk It Over
*discuss what the ordinal number is of the wind-up toy just before
the elephant. (have them underline just before)
*explain we can’t see this toy because it is on the shelf (you can refer to the objects you used to review 1st through 10th
*ask them what number comes just before 11 (answer 10), so what is the ordinal number just before 11th ? (answer: 10th)

(this is an important question because books like to ask these types of questions, especially on tests)

*stress that they have to put in the ‘th’ after the number or they will not be answering what the position is, they will be telling how many

Page 388  Ordinal Number 21st through 31st  
*the stuffed animals are lined up/hanging from top to bottom
*read the ordinal numbers
*point out that all these ordinal numbers do not end in ‘th’, some do, but not all
*remind the about the review you did 1st through 10th

*discuss 1st, 2nd, 3rd and point out 21st, 22nd, 23rd, and 31st and how they are similar

questions #12-21
*read directions and have your child write the ordinal numbers for each stuffed animal (stress they have to write ‘th’, ‘st’, ‘nd’, or ‘rd’ after the number for it to be an ordinal number)

question #22 Critical Thinking
*read critical thinking problem
* underline just before
* have your child draw a circle with a 27 under it
*now have them make another circle just before it
*put a c in the circle for Camille
*ask them what position is Camille (remind them their answer has to be an ordinal number) (answer 26th)

Page 220 Jesus Told Us About God’s Forgiveness

Ask:         ‘How would you feel if you were the father in the story?’
                ‘How would you feel if you were the son in the story?’

Page 221
*read and number the sentences to retell the story in the correct order
*
continue reading and underline God always loves us, make sure they understand God is like the father in the story and God will always forgive us ( I usually explain how their Moms and Dads always love them and will never stop no matter what they do.)

*discuss We Respond question

Ask:         ‘What did Jesus’s story teach us about forgiveness?’ (about how God loves us and will always forgive us)

                ‘Why did the father give his son a hug?’ (because he loved his son and wanted to show that he had forgiven him)

SCIENCE Scholastic News-don’t Mess With This Dad
