- Team Time- Last week we were working with compound words. These are two separate words that we put together to make a new word. Sometimes the new compound word are similar to their individual words like “doghouse” and other times they are completely different from each words individual meaning like “butterfly.” Compound words do not have a space between the words.
- Math- Last week we started working on adding two 2-digit numbers. We first learned how to do our proof drawings using 10 sticks and ones. If there are more than 10 ones, we can circle the ones, cross it out, and add a new 10 stick. We also learned how to do the building method of addition and adding the new ten above or below. See the math parent letter attached to this, for an example of each of these methods.
- Science- Last week we first observed the four different seeds with our senses of sights, touch, smell, and hearing. Then we planted our seeds. There are 4 different seeds are pumpkin, sunflower, kidney bean, and pea seed. Ask your child which seed they planted.
- Wilson Fundations- We have been working on closed syllable words. Words have parts that go together called syllables. A syllable is part of a word that can be pushed out in one breath. Closed syllables have only one vowel and must be followed by or closed in by a consonant and it can be more than one consonant. A closed syllable gives the vowel the short sound. Examples include: bath, bat, it. Me is not a closed syllable word because it does not have a consonant after the vowel AND because it is a long vowel.
