Words Their Way Instructions

Words Their Way 

Every time you get a new set of words, this is what you need to do: 

• GET your words and do your WRITE & SORT!  

• Do not glue them in! 
• Get them checked by Mrs. Jessie 

• Highlight the word patterns (if there is a pattern – ask if you aren’t sure): 
• Example: CVVC  Boat   or –eg patterns: beg, leg 

• Write your words in complete sentences. If you do not know what the words mean – look in the dictionary! 
• Put your words in ALPHABETIC ORDER – Ant, Antelope, Artist, Balloon, Beluga, Cotton 
• Rainbow Write: Ant, Antelope 

• Fancy Words: Ant, Antelope, Artist, Balloon 
• Word Search: Go into your file and find the word search. Cut it out and glue into your Daily 5 book when you are done.   
• NOW YOU CAN CUT OUT YOUR WORDS! 
• Speed Sort – Use the iPad to race yourself, 3 times!  
• Blind Sort/Partner Sort – Have somebody say the words to you, and you point to the right category.

Making 10 - Mental Math for this Week

Let's Practice Together

Practice your make 10 with this cool game:

Similes

Remember.. they are S-I-Miles not smiles!

A simile compares two things using LIKE or AS.

The kitten is as fluffy AS a cloud.

Your eyes are blue LIKE the sky.

The boy moves slow LIKE a turtle.

See if you can think of your own!!

Math Treasure Hunt

For those students who did not finish it. Due on Monday:

Sorry that it is a bit distorted.. We are running on data over our phones until Unifi moves our service, so it is uploading weird!

New Schedule

Our schedule has changed a bit with the MYP/IB program going to a one week rather than a two week schedule. The main important change is that Swimming and PE days have changed. Swimming is now on Monday's and PE is on Wednesday's. We will still have library on Wednesday mornings.

Summer Holidays Work

Please have your child review math work, use Freckle and Prodigy and especially reading.

The research is clear that children who don't read during the summer can lose up to three to six months of reading progress and that loss has a cumulative, long-term effect.

See research here: https://natlib.govt.nz/schools/reading-engagement/summer-reading/summer-slide-and-summer-reading-research

Math Fact Masters

We have 3 students who have passed all of the levels thus far.. Congratulations to Evan, Lukas, and Emily!! They are done their addition, subtraction, multiplication and division facts!

We also have JaeNa who has mastered multiplication and Kai Xin who mastered addition! Great job kiddos! Keep practicing over the holidays to keep your math game strong!

Food Chains & Food Webs

Remember - A food chain is the smaller (one line) chain like:

Sun --> Plant (Apple Tree) --> Catepillar --> Duck --> Human

A Food Web is like a spider web that draws lines to multiple different food chains (think about when Bill Nye got caught in his food web - so many strings!)

Ancient China Websites

https://www.ducksters.com/history/china/ancient_china.php

https://china.mrdonn.org/

https://www.coolkidfacts.com/ancient-china/

https://kids.kiddle.co/Ancient_China

https://kids.nationalgeographic.com/explore/countries/china/#china-dragon.jpg

These are all websites that you can use for your Ancient China booklet.

Why don't we use Wikipedia for research? - Because anybody can go in there and switch the writing up. They can go in and give you bad information! It can be a good place to start for quick reference, but you never know who and when it was last updated, and if the person really knew what they were talking about!
