Phonics And Phonemic Awareness Word Family Bootcamp

We are following our required foundational skills curriculum. And we are supplementing with our TKS BOOTCAMP Word Family Bootcamp! Our foundational skills curriculum really starts to focus on segmenting, word chaining and blending, and writing words using sounds. This is exactly what we do with our science of reading aligned Word Family Bootcamp! Each week we do two-word families. Day 1 is a circle chart that includes segmenting sounds, spelling words, and blending words. Day 2 is word building and writing which is more segmenting, more spelling, and more blending with a focus on writing the words so we’re mapping the sound to the spelling.

We also use our decodable texts in small groups to work on the skills in text.

Reading Comprehension-The Three Little Pigs

This week we are using our required reading curriculum by reading the book The Three Little Pigs and working on character traits and text evidence. We supplement with our Read It Up! resource. We are required to do 3 lessons a week so that’s what we do. We focus on the “learn” section of each lesson and use our research project to scaffold and support student learning!

After reading the book we will work on describing each of the characters. We will also cite text evidence and choose a character to write about.

Math

This year our district is using Illustrative Math as our math curriculum. We will be completing those lessons and supplementing them heavily with our Math It Up! creations. This week we’re working on addition and subtraction to 10. This week the focus is on solving story problems with objects and drawings. We will be using the activities and lessons from our Math It Up! Adding Cars and Math It Up! Subtracting Cars resources!

Each day we will use actual toy cars to solve story problems. Monday will be addition. Tuesday will be subtraction. Wednesday through Friday will be a mixture of addition and subtraction. We’re also introducing “expressions” this week. Thursday the kids will generate the story problems for their friends to solve.

Holidays Around The World Research Project

This week we continue our journey around the world with Holidays Around The World! This is my favorite thing we do all year! I love the excitement and engagement. I love that we’re learning languages, foods, cultures, and traditions! And it’s just a blast!

We visit a country each day. Each student gets their own, personalized airline ticket. We watch a video of an airplane taking off. We do a read-aloud that is related (not informational) to some part of how each country celebrates holidays or some part of their culture and traditions. We also look at a very short informational PowerPoint to learn facts about each country.
