Asynchronous Learning Day- Friday, November 14th
Linked below is the work for the remote learning day. Students will also be bringing this home in their yellow folder on 11/13.
Language Arts
This week we are working on Unit 4 Fundations. We will learn the Bonus Letter Rule also known as the FLOSS rule. To read the word puff, one would only need the letters puf. For the word hill only the letters hil are needed. However, in our language when a one syllable word ends in an f, l, or s, a second f, l, or s is added when spelling the word. The trick words of this unit are: you, your, I, they, was, one, said.
Math
We are continuing to build our math class community and learn about routines during our math instructional block. The upcoming focus will be:
Mentally adding and subtracting 10
Commutative Property
Addition and Subtraction strategies of counting on and counting back to solve equations
Fact Fluency
Science/Social Studies
We are finishing our first Science Unit. We will begin our Social Studies Unit. Students will learn the importance of following rules. They will recognize and celebrate symbols of the United States, as well as contributions people from our past have made.

God is Our Holy Father
