Phase 3- Week 2- 20-24

In Math this week, we will continue focusing on addition and subtraction. 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: 1+4=5, 2+3=5, 3+2=5, etc.
Continue practicing adding and subtracting at home with your child. Using story problems at home is always a great support for your child.
Also, please continue practicing the names of the 2D and 3D shapes.

In Science, the students will be reviewing 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 your child practice using this academic vocabulary by having them explore the plants they have around the house or yard and have them tell you the parts. 

In addition, the students will explore ways young plants resemble the parent plant and the changes that take place as a new plant develop into an adult plant. The students will identify structures in young plants that are similar to those found in adults and recognize the different stages in the development of a plant from seeds to adult.

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.

Phase 3- Week 1- 13-17

In Math, students will continue describing shapes using attributes such as size and number of faces. As students become fluent with descriptions, the focus will be on comparing shapes with real life objects and shapes. Please, review 2D and 3D vocabulary at home.
Feel free to use these guided questions while you are revising the shapes:

1. How was this shape composed? ¿Cómo está compuesta esta figura geométrica?
2. How many objects did it take to build this shape? ¿Cuántos objetos utilizaste para construir esta figura geometrica?
3. How does this shape compare to the other shape(s)? ¿Cómo puedes comparar esta figura geométrica con otra?

In Science, we will be reviewing the basic needs of living things. This will lead into our next unit that will focus on plants. Below you can find the vocabulary we will be using in Seesaw.
