Reading: This week begins lesson 5. We will be reading about jobs that people have. We will think about the characters from each story as we also recognize the story structure. Please continue to read each night and color a leaf for each book read. Our high frequency words this week are find, much, and thank. Our new vocabulary is horrible, invigorated, and presented.
Phonics: We will work with words that have the short o vowel sound. We will also recognize the inflections –ed and –ing.
Spelling: Test on Friday. Study!

Writing: We will be writing our own book this week titled Children, Children, What do you……..? Each table will be responsible to write about the things they see, while the other tables write about the things they hear, smell, taste, and touch. This will be compiled into one book that the children can bring home for one night to share with the family.

Math: This week we will be learning our ordinal numbers. We will learn how to identify and write them. We will also concentrate on our addition facts as well. Tuesday we will have fun with a watermelon. We will guess how many seeds are inside. We will then slice and eat the sweet, juicy watermelon counting the seeds as we go. A prize will be awarded to the person that came the closest to the correct number. Afterwards we will go outside to have a seed spitting contest. I wonder who can spit a seed the farthest?
Science: We will continue to study our five senses. This week we will concentrate on our senses of smell, taste, and touch. Friday will be the culmination of our unit. We will have a popcorn party. We will read The Popcorn Book then microwave some hot, buttery popcorn. We will guess how many seeds won’t pop then count to find out if we were close to the number. We will talk about how the kernel changed its form and use descriptive words as we write about its texture, smell, and taste.
