La Lectura (about 15-20 minutes of work each day after reading)

This week the students will:

  • Read book 17 fluently “La misteriosa casa de la abuela”
  • Identify the main idea and supporting details in the story.
  • Use reading strategies to identify or work around unfamiliar vocabulary.
  • Complete a weekly writing assignment and make corrections (capitals, punctuation, complete sentences, noun-verb agreement, gender agreement)
  • Read “Chinches” and answer reading comprehension questions in complete sentences (in the Google Doc so I can easily see their answers and make corrections).

Talent Show from a week ago!

Las matemáticas (about 20 minutes of work each day)

This week we will begin our Money unit! Our learning goals for this week are:

  • Correctly identify all coins and bills
  • add money in different ways with and without regrouping
  • subtract money in different ways with and without regrouping
  • Continue practicing math facts daily

We will continue to work in our small math groups of 4 on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  The feedback from the kiddos was that they LOVE the small groups! It would be great if they were able to bring coins and a dollar bill to their math meetings this week!

11:00-11:30 – Aleya, Eden, Evely, Evie

1:00-1:30 – Maya, Maria, Cata, Ellie

1:35-2:05 – Penelope, Bella, Rachel, Bryce

2:10-2:40 – Sam, Owen, Frederick, Andres

The students also have a review packet of everything we’ve done so far this year in math and can complete that as extra practice (some kiddos are asking for more, more, more!!).  I will post answers for those who want to do this.
