1st grade homeschool plan, week 7

Blends with s, and blends at the end · Making ten to add within 20 · Day and night

Week 7 of 36 in 1st grade, in quarter 1. Five days, about 85 minutes each.

Reading: s and ending blends, s-t-o-p and s-p-i-n at the start; ha-n-d and be-s-t at the end. Words to read and spell: stop, spin, snap, skip, hand, best, lamp and tent. Sight words: “going” and “had”. The new story is “Mop Can Hop”, and the reread is “I See a Boy”.

Math: Making ten to add within 20. Adding within 20 by making a ten first: 8 + 5 is 8 + 2 + 3, which is 10 + 3.

Science: Day and night. The sun, the moon and the stars, and the pattern of day and night.

Read-alouds: “The Moon Follows Me”, “Mina and the Eight Planets”, “The Letter for the Moon”, “The Night Bus” and “A Day on the Space Station”.

For the whole family: Look at the moon on a clear evening and draw its shape; look again a few nights later.
