Look at what we will be learning next week: 

Math:  Learners will continue to compose and decompose a number up to 99 as well as use place value and an open number line to compare and order numbers up to 99 using the words greater than/more than, less than, equal.  

For example 54  can be decomposed as the following:  

  • 5 tens and 4 ones
  • 4 tens and 14 ones
  • 3 tens and 24 ones
  • 2 tens and 34 ones 
  • 54 ones 

Fun videos to watch with your child:

Place Value Song (The kids love this song!)  - https://youtu.be/a4FXl4zb3E4

Science: We will move into our unit of Earth Science. Learners will be observing soil samples and discovering what soil is made of - definitely more than dirt!! 

Language Arts:

Reading:  Next week will be a week to review and practice our reading skills.  It is VERY important that your child reads for 30 minutes each day (face to face learners do this at school so no extra reading is required). 

Writing:   Next week we will publish, make an audio book, and reflect on our first chapter book. 

Phonics:   We will learn how /y/ at the end of a word can make the long /i/ sound AND the long /e/ sound.

 Social Studies: The learners will describe the origins of customs, holidays, and celebrations of the community, state, and nation as Independence Day and Veterans Day through listening, reading, writing, and speaking.

Fun activities to do at home: 

Math Activities to do with your child at home

Play " Guess My Number"

  • What number is equal to 1 ten and 23 ones? 
  • I am thinking of an even number.  It is greater than 17 and less than 19?  What number am I thinking?   
  • I am thinking of a number?  It has 2 tens and 3 ones.  What number am I thinking? 

Practice counting to 120 by ones (forwards and backwards) with your child.     

Practice counting to 120 by fives and tens with your child.   

Practice reading the snap words.  Remember, your child should be able to read all of the snap words in a "snap". 

READING  - The Raz Kids app is available to all learners (virtual and face to face).  If your child has extra time at night this is a great way to increase reading skills! Even 15 minutes will help increase vocabulary, increase fluency, and increase comprehension! 

Important News:

The building is closed to all visitors, including TCE families, at this time. Only current learners and staff are allowed in the building.
