ELA 

This week we learned that trees are living things because

they need food, water, air, and grow by themselves.  We read the book “Are Trees Alive” and compared our

bodies to parts of a tree.  For example, the tree roots are

like our feet that anchor us to the ground.  The tree trunk

is like our legs that support our bodies while the tree’s

bark is like our skin that protects the inside.  

We also learned to read words that end with “ff, zz, ll, ss”

and the high frequency words off, and which.

Math 

This week students sorted objects into groups and then

compared the total number of objects.  We also continued

working on addition and subtraction fluency.

P2:  Supporting others when they struggle

Supporting other people when they struggle is a critical

piece of being human. You support others by listening

while they describe an event and their feelings about it,

taking action to help people in need, or simply just

being there and sitting together in silence.

Science:  Animal Needs: Safety

In this Read-Along lesson, a girl notices all the holes

in the trees around her house—and sets out to discover

how they got there, and why they matter. The students

then listened for animal sounds and pretended to be

woodpeckers.

 

Rainbow Words

Please keep practicing these important words at

home every night.
