n math this week, we will continue our unit on continued counting. This week we will review what a penny is and that it is worth ten cents. We will discuss that we can trade ten pennies for a dime. Students will also work on an exemplar, or higher order thinking word problem. We will use pennies and dimes to decompose numbers just like we have for cubes and base ten blocks. We will continue to work on comparing numbers and using the correct symbol: <,>, or=. Students will have a formative assessment on Wednesday and Thursday. Students need to know how to fill in teen numbers on the ten frame, how to write the decomposing number sentences (10+9=19) for teen numbers, as well as comparing groups of objects and using the correct symbol.
Please make sure students practice counting by 1’s and 10’s to 100 every night if needed. For students who have mastered this standard, you can practice counting by 1’s to 200 and/or skip counting by 2’s, 3’s, 4’s, 5’s, etc. Here are the standards: MGSEK.CC.1 Count to 100 by ones and by tens. MGSEK.CC.5 Count to answer “how many?” questions. MGSEK.CC.6 Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, e.g., by using matching and counting strategies. MGSEK.CC.7 Compare two numbers between 1 and 10 presented as written numerals. MGSEK.NBT.1 Compose and decompose numbers from 11 to 19 into ten ones and some further ones to understand that these numbers are composed of ten ones and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each composition or decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 18 = 10 + 8). MGSE1.NBT.7 Identify dimes and understand ten pennies can be thought of as a dime. (Use dimes as manipulatives in multiple mathematical contexts.) MGSEK.MD.3 Classify objects into given categories; count the numbers of objects in each category and sort the categories by count. In ELA, we will continue with our Lucy Calkins reading and writing units of study. In reading, we will finish up our unit on Superpowers. We will review all the superpowers we have learned and use these superpowers while reading some different books on Epic! In phonics, we will be discussing s blends and l blends. S blends, for example, are two letters like sl, sp, sn, sk, etc. that are at the beginning of words. Some examples of l blends are bl, cl, fl, gl, etc. For read aloud, we will be reading books about Christmas traditions! In writing, we will continue our narratives, or true stories. Students will continue to write more stories, going back and forth between being writer and reader. As they reread, they’ll double check that they are doing everything they know to make their writing easy to read, like drawing pictures, writing letters, spaces, capital letters, and punctuation. Students will use the “How to Write a True Story” chart or the “What Makes Writing Easy to Read?” chart as a checklist, thinking, “Did I do that?” and then fixing up parts based on what they found out. They will use a vowel chart to help as they go through their writing, stretching out words, and making sure they have a vowel in every single word—often in the middle. We will focus on vowels and students will use a vowel chart to help as they go through their writing, stretching out words, and making sure they have a vowel in every single word—often in the middle. In social studies, we will finish up this unit that goes with our current IB unit on holiday traditions. Students will be presenting their holiday traditions projects and we will finish up some of our international inquirer studies. For science, we will finish up our unit on day and night. Students will have a day and night formative assessment this week.
