MONDAY May 11th

Good morning parents,
Thank you for signing in this morning and participating in our online learning. I know that it can be challenging for the students to stay focused. But I really appreciate them logging on and trying there best. This morning the students were introduced to lesson twenty nine in Language Arts. This means that they have one lesson left in their textbooks, which puts them one step closer into reaching second grade. The lesson this morning introduced them to there new spelling words and high frequency words which you can find below. They were also introduced to adverbs and the following suffixes -ful, -ly, -y. The story that we will be focused on this week is titled "Hi, Fly Guy." For our math lesson we continued to work with our two dimensional shapes and they were introduced to lesson 12.7. Thus, homework for math will be posted on K6ThinkCentral under 12.7. For reading there homework can be found on IXL under BB 1, this will give them practice with suffixes. Parents once again thank you and have a great rest of your day.

Therefore, please ensure that they are logging on daily. A recap of todays class, we discussed adjectives for smell and taste and we reread our anchor story of the week. We also compared Frog and Toad the two characters of our story and discussed how they were the same and different. This exercise should help the students with their writing assignment that is due this Friday. In addition, we continued to talk about our story structure, which is what makes up a story, characters, setting, plot.

As well as changing the y at the end of a word into an I in order to ad the -er or -est. We also took a moment and read our anchor text of the week which is titled "What Can You Do?" Also, we continued to talk about telling sentences and asking sentences and the appropriate end mark that goes in each sentence.
Today we began chapter 12 in math and this is the last chapter in the lesson. This chapter will cover 2 dimensional shapes such as squares, triangles, circles, rectangles, rhombus. We also talked bout the sides and the vertices (corners) of the shapes. If you'd like you can show them the following video that we watched in class today once more https://youtu.be/24Uv8Cl5hvI.

Monday April 27th

Good morning parents,
A quick recap of the work that we completed this morning. Today we began lesson 27 in language arts and students were introduced to their new high frequency words and spelling words. The story of the week is titled "What Can You Do?" Please practice the following words with your student throughout the week. Their High-Frequency words are always, different, enough, happy, high, near, once, and stories. Their spelling words are hard, harder, hardest, fast, faster, fastest, slow, slower, slowest, sooner. Remind students that each words has a base word and then we can add the different ending either -er or -est. Also, on some words remind them that in order to add the -er or -est they need to remove the Y and replace it with an I. For example, happy- happier, happiest. We also discussed the authors purpose. Students were also introduced to different kinds of sentences such as a telling sentence and an asking sentence. A telling sentence tells us something and a asking sentence asks us something.
For math we reviewed for our chapter test which I will post here shortly. Thus, homework for today is finishing there lesson 26 test if they have not done so and completing the math test. Parents have a great rest of your day and thank you for the support and understanding.

TUESDAY April 21st

Good morning parents,
Just a quick recap for todays class. I started this morning by talking to the students about the importance of completing their exams on K6Thinkcentral. Please if you have not completed lesson 25 test I have reopened it until Friday April 24th for your convenience. This morning we started by reviewing the story "The Dot" and we also spoke about figurative language and compare and contrast. Remind your students that "compare" is when two things have something in common (the same) and "contrast" is the difference (how they are the different). As for figurative language remind them that these are words that can have multiple meanings. For example, "Vashti sat glued to her seat after class." We also discussed the meaning of an exclamation mark, remind them that when they see an exclamation mark the reader must read with expression and strong feelings.
Our math lesson consisted of lesson 11.2 and we continued to discuss three dimensional shapes. Today we also discussed combining three dimensional shapes to make a new one. I will list the homework below. Please keep up the good work and once again thank you parents.
ELA: In your readers notebook PGS. 154-155
