Sneak peek to our academic week

  • math: This week we will wrap up our Unit 4 on multiplication and division. We will spend the beginning of our week finishing up the unit, continuing to practice the different strategies and methods to multiplication/division. We have begun our timed multiplication facts quiz to help build our skills. The remaining of the week we will spend our time reviewing for our test. Our Unit 4 test is scheduled for this Friday.
  • reading: I have seen such great practice with our non-fiction reading. We continue to practice reading those biography books and getting all of the rich information out of them for our school projects. We are working so hard on these!
  • writing: We continue along with our informational writing. This week we will focus on connecting the information in our chapters using different transitional strategies and phrases. As we do this, we will look at mentor texts for ideas on how best to transition our own informational books.
  • science: We continue learning about fossils! We have enjoyed our mystery science lessons so much.
  • spelling: spelling words can be found in your child’s planner. Spelling tests are scheduled for this Friday.
  • religion: We have wrapped up Unit 7 and took our quiz last week. Now, we will be discussing how the Lord our God is holy by learning about Moses’ experience when he encountered the holiness of God.

Have a wonderful week!
