1st grade homeschool plan, week 6
Blends with l and r · Adding three numbers · Sun and shade
Week 6 of 36 in 1st grade, in quarter 1. Five days, about 85 minutes each.
Reading: l and r blends, two consonants side by side, each still heard: f-l-a-g, c-r-a-b. Words to read and spell: flag, clap, plum, slip, frog, crab, drum and trip. Sight words: “from” and “give”. The new story is “I See a Boy”, and the reread is “The Hat Cat”.
Math: Adding three numbers. Adding three numbers in any order, looking for a ten or a double first.
Science: Sun and shade. Sunlight warms the ground, water and air, and shade keeps things cooler.
Read-alouds: “The Sun Is a Star”, “From the Sun to the Pedals”, “How the Leopard Got His Spots”, “How the Camel Got His Hump” and “The Elephant's Child”.
For the whole family: Put two cups of water out, one in the sun and one in the shade, and feel them after an hour.
