1st grade homeschool plan, week 34

Endings: -ly · Mixed story problems · Wind and air

Week 34 of 36 in 1st grade, in quarter 4. Five days, about 110 minutes each.

Reading: -ly, -ly tells how something is done: slow becomes slowly. Words to read and spell: slowly, quickly, sadly, softly, kindly, gladly, loudly and nicely. Sight words: “read” and “right”. The new story is “Ben and the Puddle Boat”, and the reread is “Mia and the Kite”.

Writing: Adding details. To revise, your child adds details: a describing word, a when, or a why. Two added details make a piece stronger.

Math: Mixed story problems. A mix of story problems within 20 and with tens, choosing whether to add or take away.

Science: Wind and air. Air is all around us even though we cannot see it, and moving air is wind.

Social studies, a shorter piece each day: The Statue of Liberty and other landmarks. Famous places stand for the country too: the Statue of Liberty, the White House, and landmarks near home.

Read-alouds: “The North Wind and the Sun”, “Marit and the Storm Pony”, “The First Flight”, “The Stamp of the North Wind” and “Mrs. Hedgehog's Umbrella”.

For the whole family: Make paper fans or pinwheels and test how much air it takes to move different things.
