Happy Track Out!

We have worked hard the last 3 weeks and I think we are all ready for track out!  Our last day is tomorrow, July 28th and we will return on August 21st.  I always encourage students to read or be read to for at least 20 minutes each night over track out but I don't send home any additional sheets or activities. The list below are some upcoming objectives that you can get your child prepared for over track out.

Reading
Ask and answer questions about key details (in both fiction and informational texts).
Decoding one syllable words.
Good reader strategies( get your mouth ready for the sound of the first letter, find smaller parts in bigger words, asking yourself, "does it make sense, sound right and look right?", etc..),

Writing
Print all upper and lowercase letters correctly.
Write narratives using the words first, next, then and last.
Write an opinion piece with reasons.
Use an introduction to their writing.
Include closure to writing pieces.

Math
Addition and subtraction to 20
Place Value (ones, tens)
Two digit numbers
Comparing numbers
