Literacy:

This week we will look at the “ch” sound.

We use “-ch”

• At the beginning of a word: Examples: chip, chair, choose
• After a consonant: Examples: lunch, bench, punch
• After a long vowel or a vowel team: Examples: peach, beach 

Word work

chip – chum – much – lunch – pinch – check

Heart Words

walk – talk

Math:

We will move on to doubles this week. The “doubles” math strategy is adding a number to itself, such as 5+5=10. This is a foundational strategy for more complex addition and is very important moving forward.

Math Extra Practice (doubles) 

1 + 1 = 2

2 + 2 = 4

3 + 3 = 6

4 + 4 = 8

5 + 5 = 10

6 + 6 = 12

7 + 7 = 14

8 + 8 = 16

9 + 9 = 18

10 + 10 = 20

11 + 11 = 22

12 + 12 = 24

You will notice in this week’s newsletter that there is extra practice in Literacy. This is not homework, just options for those looking for extra practice at home.

Literacy:

This week we will look at the unvoiced “th” sound. The main rule for this sound is that unvoiced \”th\” is made with only air. A simple rule to remember is that words starting with “th” like “thin” or “think” are usually unvoiced, and words in the middle of a word like “mother” or “father” are voiced (last week).  

Word work

thin – thud – bath – with – cloth- tenth

Heart Words

were – goes – says

Math:

We will continue with basic addition this week. We will spend the week reviewing grade 1 concepts (addition with 10) and move on to addition within 20.

Math Extra Practice (random questions) 

8 + 2 = 10

6 + 3 = 9

2 + 5 = 7

10 + 4 = 14

4 + 3 = 7

5 + 4 = 9

3 + 7 = 10

3 + 5 = 8
