1st grade homeschool plan, week 16
Vowel teams: ee and ea · Ten more and ten less · Snow and ice
Week 16 of 36 in 1st grade, in quarter 2. Five days, about 85 minutes each.
Reading: ee and ea, two vowels together saying long e: ee as in tree, ea as in sea. Words to read and spell: tree, feet, green, sleep, sea, eat, read and team. Sight words: “round” and “some”. The new story is “Lou and the Snow Dad”, and the reread is “Can I Pet It?”.
Math: Ten more and ten less. Finding 10 more and 10 less than a number in your head, and seeing the pattern on the hundreds chart.
Science: Snow and ice. Cold turns water to ice and warmth turns it back, and winter weather changes what people and animals do.
Read-alouds: “Why Does Ice Float?”, “The Frog That Freezes”, “Pooh and Piglet Go Hunting”, “The Run to Nome” and “The Ugly Duckling”.
For the whole family: Freeze water in different containers, then race to melt the shapes in different places.
