Literacy-
We will continue exploring the question of the week, "What can we learn by exploring nature?" The main selection is "Henry and Mudge and the Starry Night" Students will understand that exploring nature includes the skies and space, water, forests and our neighborhoods. We will continue building our oral vocabulary with the words, galaxy, tranquil, wildlife, fledglings secure, detective, fascinating and slimy. We will also be able to recognize and use our high frequency words- bear, father, straight, build, love, couldn't, mother and our selection vocabulary- drooled, lanterns, shivered, snuggled.
Our focus this week in phonics will include consonant blends and review of long vowels VCe and short vowels. We will also continue reading for fluency as well as build comprehension.
Your children this week will also be identify predicates of a sentence and writing realistic non-fiction.
Religion-
This week we will learn about the Ten Commandments by learning how we were given them. We will also reflect on how we can live them out in our own lives. On Wednesday, we are going to be praying a decade of the rosary for your child's intentions.
Math-
Students will take a test in review of repeated addition. We will also introduce topic 5. Topic 5 will cover place value up to 100.
Science-
Our next unit will cover life cycles in nature. We will begin by looking at the life cycle of a plant and chicken.
Spelling-
We will not have spelling words this week due to the shortened week.
Reminders-
Please read with your child every night. Ask them questions about what they have read, comprehension is a huge skill that, if we can build early, will help your child tremendously!
Wednesday will be a noon dismissal day. You are invited to attend a Safety Response Protocol assembly on Wednesday at 11.
Parent teacher conferences begin on Wednesday at 3pm. I look forward to meeting with you and discussing your child's progress in class.
Have a wonderful week!
