Week 32

Math
In Math this week, we will continue focusing on counting and reinforcing adding and subtracting. Please continue to support your child and practice counting up to 100. You may try starting to count from random numbers up to 100 so that your child can practice counting on. 

Science

We are beginning to cover parts of a plant in Science. The students will be learning the parts of a plant and will be able to observe how a seed grows and how those parts start to appear after time. Below you will find the vocabulary we will be using in class. Have students practice using this academic vocabulary by having them explore the plants they have around the house and have them tell you the parts.

We have also created a song which the students may practice at home. Feel free to use this song at home for more vocabulary support. The kiddos just love to sing!

Week 31

Math
In Math this week, we will continue focusing on addition. As we go throughout the lessons, we will use different strategies to compose numbers. The students will demonstrate ways to make the same number. For example: 2+3=5, 1+4=5, 0+5.
Continue practicing adding and subtracting at home with your child as this will be the main focus for the next few weeks. Using story problems at home is always a great support for your child.

Science

This week we'll dive into plants and their needs. Students will get to observe how important these needs are for the life of a plant and will see what happens if those are taken away. This is a continuation of what we started learning during the last week. Please refer to the blog post from last week as a resource to use for Spanish vocabulary.

Week 29

Math

We have made it to the final week of the 6-week period. This week in Math we will be going further into coins by distinguishing the value and characteristics of a penny, nickel, dime, and quarter. In Spanish, there is no single word to name these coins. For that reason, we will name the coins by using the following sentence stem:

"Una moneda de ___ centavos."

This directly translates into "A coin of ___ cents." The students will fill in the blank with the correct value of the coin shown.

We will also continue learning about 3D shapes and will focus on how they are like each other as well as what they have in common with 2D shapes (example: The faces of a cube are squares). See chart from week 19 post for vocabulary support.

Science

In Science, we will be reviewing the basic needs of living things. This will lead into our next unit that will focus on plants. The main focus for the week will be solely on the needs of plants and we will be comparing them to those of other living things such as animals. Below you can find the vocabulary we will be using in class throughout the week.
