We are starting a new mini-unit tomorrow. We wrapped up our animal homes unit and we will now be focusing on homes around the world. This week I will intro it with our book of the week Homes Around the World. During this unit we will be learning about homes, shelter, cultures and material used to build. We are continuing to work on comprehension skills like making connections, visualizing and predicting. I will also be teaching students ways to read difficult/new words.
Phonics
Review of long and short e sounds and intro to long and short u.
Writing
We are writing about animals we know and continuing to work on writing sentences correctly (capital, spaces, ending punctuation, one idea).
Math
Numbers to 20. Ten-frames. Comparing and ordering numbers. Number riddles.
Social Studies

Other stuff:
I am still collecting boxes for building homes at the end of this unit.
