Phonics You have learned vowels have different sounds. You have learned that the short sound of a is /a/ like in the word hat. This week you are going to learn that the vowel a also makes a long sound. The long sound says the name of the letter. The long sound is /a/ like in the word cape. One way to make the long a sound is with a vowel, consonant, and a silent e. The silent e is able to jump over one consonant and makes the vowel say its name. For example:

rat rate

cap cape Use the long a page. ▪ For each picture in rows 1 - 3, touch the picture. ▪ Say the word aloud. ▪ Then say the long a sound /a/.

▪ For example, I touch the first picture and I say whale. Then I say /a/.

Reading A caregiver will need to put together the book Who Has a Bill? Before reading a book, readers get themselves ready to read. They do this by looking at the cover and thinking about the title. Then they think: What might this book be about? For example, look at the title page of Who Has a Bill?

I think about the title of the book. The title is Who Has a Bill? I am wondering what that might mean. I notice there is a bird on the cover. I wonder if the bird has a bill. I’m not sure what the bill is. I will read the book and see if I can figure out what a bill is.

Did you notice how I used the words and the pictures to think about the book and makes some predictions about what I might learn in the book? Readers use the illustrations to help them understand what they are reading. As they read, readers ask questions like What? Why? When? Where? that help them understand what they are reading.

Fulton County Schools, Kindergarten; Week 30 March 29, 2021

For example, on page 2:

Questions I might ask include: I see the bird and it looks like he is sipping from the flower. What is the bill? What is the bird sipping?

▪ A caregiver will need to read aloud pages 2 - 5. ▪ Use the pictures and the words to talk about what you have learned. ▪ Ask yourself: What? Why? When? Where?

Use with Ready Instruction Lesson 17

Dear Family,

Subtraction problems in this lesson involve taking away part of a group of up to 5 objects and finding how many are left. In class, your child may use actual objects, connecting cubes, and/or counters on 5-frames to act out taking away part of a group.

When pictures of objects are shown with subtraction problems, you can cross out objects to show the action of taking away. The lesson starts by crossing out pictures of real-world objects such as cups or balloons. Then it ends by crossing out pictures of counters on 5-frames.

Connecting pictures, models, and subtraction stories to number sentences helps build a strong foundation for subtraction. Eventually your child will transition from solving problems shown with concrete objects or drawings to solving problems shown only with numbers.

5-FramePicture

Invite your child to share what he or she knows about subtracting within 5 by doing the following activity together.

This week your child is learning to subtract within 5.

Lesson 17 Subtract Within 5

142

Subtracting Within 5 Activity

Materials: pencil, index cards or paper, 5 small objects (such as pennies, buttons, dried beans, or pasta shapes), cup

Do the following activity to help your child model and solve subtraction problems within 5.

• On an index card or paper, write 5 2 3 5 .

• Place the subtraction problem and 5 pennies on the table.

• Point to the number 5 and say: There are 5 pennies. How many do we need to take away?

• Help your child recognize that the minus sign and number 3 show that you need to take away 3. Have your child remove 3 pennies and place them in a cup.

• Ask: How many pennies are left? Have your child count the pennies on the table and write the answer in the box after the equals sign.

5 – 3 =

Repeat with other subtraction problems within 5, such as 3 2 1, 5 2 2, and 4 2 3.

During your daily routine, help your child use objects to model subtraction whenever you can. For example, when clearing the table, you might say: There are 4 cups on the table. I’m taking away 1. How many cups are left? Model subtraction with up to 5 crayons, blocks, spoons, raisins, crackers, or other objects.

Phonics You have learned the vowel a has 2 sounds:

short sound long sound

rat rate

cap cape Use the long a page. ▪ You are going to count the sounds in 10 words. ▪ Choose a word. ▪ Say the word aloud. ▪ Count each sound by tapping the sound with your fingers. ▪ Say aloud how many sounds are in the word. ▪ For example:

I say:

c a n

▪ Say how many sounds are in the word.

Reading Readers use the illustrations to help them understand what they are reading. As they read, readers ask questions like What? Why? When? Where? to help them understand what they are reading. ▪ Reread the story. ▪ Pay close attention to the birds on each page. ▪ What do you notice about each bird? ▪ Say out loud what you notice about the birds.

Writing ▪ You have been writing informational text. Informational texts are about facts and often teach others. One type of

informational text is a how-to text. A how-to text tells or teaches the reader how to do something. ▪ When writing a how-to book, the author first decides on a topic. ▪ Then the author sketches the specific steps out. ▪ For example, if I am writing a how-to book about how to take my dog for a walk, my brainstorming might look like

this:

Attach the leash to the dog’s collar.

Walk out the door and make sure you close the door behind you.

Walk slowly and make sure you are very close to the sidewalk.

When your dog stops to sniff around, be patient and wait for him.

▪ Consider something that you know how to do very well. ▪ Brainstorm the steps. ▪ Remember to be very specific. Don’t leave any steps out.

Fulton County Schools, Kindergarten; Week 30 March 29, 2021

▪ Label the items! Remember to say think of the word, say it out loud, think what letter sounds you hear, and write the letters.

▪ When you are writing the words, remember that you may know many letters that match the sounds in your words. ▪ Make sure that you label all of the sounds you hear in each word.

Phonics We can sort words in many ways. For example, we can sort words based on where we might find them. Some items we find inside and some we find outside. We can also sort words based on whether they are people, places, or things. Another way to sort words is by the number of syllables. ▪ You are going to sort your words from the long a page in a way that you choose. ▪ First, look at all of the picture cards. ▪ Remember to say the words out loud. ▪ Then think: what do I notice that some of these words have in common? ▪ Now sort them. ▪ Remember to say each word as you pick up the card. ▪ You may take a picture of your sort and upload it to your Seesaw page or email it to your teacher. Let her know

that this is from your learning bundle.

Reading Choose one of your books. ▪ Read the book. ▪ Use all you know about texts to help you understand what you are reading. ▪ For example, pay attention to the illustrations to help you understand what you are learning, determine the

setting, and identify the feelings of the character. ▪ Read as if you feel like the character. ▪ Pay attention to the details. ▪ Look at the special things the author does to help you understand the text. ▪ When you finish reading, retell the story by retelling the characters, settings, and events if it is a fiction book. ▪ If it is a nonfiction book, retell the story by retelling the details and identify the main topic.

Number and Operations I Grade K I One Less I Page 1 of 2

One LessObjective Identify the number that is one less than a given number to 10.

Materials per student: 10 counters

Students should know how to count forward and backward between 0 and 10, inclusive. They also know how to count the members of a set that contains up to ten objects. Students have learned to recognize and write numerals, but they may need help making the connection to the quantities that those numerals represent.

Extending students’ sense of quantity is one goal of this activity. Students develop efficient counting methods through hands-on experiences with objects and work with written materials. They are led to compare numbers, which builds their ability to identify numerical relationships. Ultimately, this activity prepares students to fluently count backward to find one less than a number, a necessary skill for later work with place-value concepts and subtraction.

Step by Step 10–15 minutes

1 Review counting forward and backward between 0 and 10.• Have the student place her hands on the table. Ask her to count her fingers by tapping her leftmost finger

on the table and saying “one.” Then she should tap each of her other fingers on the table in turn from left to right, while counting to ten.

• Next, have the student start from her rightmost finger and say “ten.” She should then tap her fingers from right to left as she counts backward from ten to one.

2 Use counters to find one less than a number.• Give the student 10 counters. Have her take three counters and put them together to form a set.

• Ask: How many counters are in your set? (3) If the student has trouble answering, have her count again.

• Challenge the student to predict by asking: How many counters will be in your set if you take one away? If the student is unsure, suggest that she take one counter from the set, then count. Then ask: How did you know there would be 2? Guide her to understand that one less than three counters is two counters.

• Have the student form sets that represent other numbers. Have her predict how many there would be in each set if there were one less. Be sure to include sets of 1 and 10. For each, have the student explain how she knows the number that is one less.

3 Find the number that is one less without using counters.• Say: Write the number 4. Now write the number that is one less. Then ask: What number is one less than four? (3)

• Have the student write other numerals. For each, tell her to write the number that is one less and tell how she knows. The goal is to help the student relate the number that is one less without using counters.

• If the student has difficulty writing the numerals, then provide assistance.

• If the student has difficulty determining what “one less” is, then have her model the problem with counters.

4 Say the number that is one less.• Announce a number between 1 and 10, inclusive. Say: What number is one less than my number?

• Allow the student to announce another number between 1 and 10, inclusive. Ask: What is one less than your number?

• Help the student to count back if needed.

Check for Understanding Say a number between 1 and 10, inclusive. Ask: What number is one less? The student can simply say the number. However, allow the student to use counters or paper and pencil to work out the answer. Repeat with two or three more numbers.

For the student who struggles, use the chart below to help pinpoint where extra help may be needed.
