1st grade homeschool plan, week 18
Review: silent e, endings and vowel teams · Review: place value and facts · Community helpers
Week 18 of 36 in 1st grade, in quarter 2. Five days, about 85 minutes each.
Reading: a review week (silent e, endings and vowel teams). Every sound so far, writing words by their sounds, and the sight words “thank” and “them”. The new story is “Fay and the Kite”, and the reread is “Jem Is Mad”.
Math: Review: place value and facts. A week of games and practice with tens and ones and with facts within 20.
History: Community helpers. The people whose jobs help a town run, from the mail carrier to the nurse to the bus driver.
Read-alouds: “Mavis and the Greedy Mayor”, “The Run to Nome”, “The Letter for the Moon”, “The Little Blue Engine” and “The Stamp of the North Wind”.
For the whole family: Each child picks a helper they see this week and acts out their job for the others to guess.
