Sneak Peek to our Academic Week

reading: This week we begin our differentiated reading groups! We will continue to work on our comprehension with fiction books; focusing on following textual clues as we read, as well as making higher level predictions in our texts.
writing: We continue on with our narrative writing, focusing on creating “leads” or introductions to our writing.
word work: We will begin word work this week! Spelling words can be found in your child’s planner and on Vocabulary A-Z. Our spelling test is scheduled for this Friday.
religion: This week we will reflect on the unique gifts that God has given us, discussing ways that we can use those gifts to serve and bless others! Our first religion quiz is scheduled for this Thursday.
science: All about fossils! We will learn how we can infer what the outside of an animal looked like by using clues about their skeleton.
social studies: Through reading and our interactive journals, we will about the human made features in our communities; buildings, roads, homes, etc.
Have an awesome week!
Blessings,
Miss Poindexter
