Sneak Peek To Our Academic Week

MATH:  We will be taking our Unit 4 math test on Friday. Review skip counting, counting money and simple addition and subrtaction.

We will begin unit 5 on Monday.

READING:  We are ending our unit for reading today. We have learned many good reading habits.

*Read the Title

*Retell the important parts of the story

*Get you excited about the book

*Plan for how you are going to read the book (like a teacher)

*sound out words, double-check the word, reread the book to have a smooth voice, set goals on how many books you will read, etc.

Writing:  We will be selecting their best HOW TO BOOK to publish. Please look over their HOW TO BOOKS to help them select their best one. I will be checking to see if they have a title page, dedication page, introduction, steps, and conclusion. I will be grading their best work. We will be moving on to the next genre on the first week of March.

SPELLING/WORD SORT:  Look in their planner for the spelling words. Spelling test on Tuesday.  Have them say it and lay it for you.  We will begin using Kids A-Z (mvazquez113) to practice spelling words since spelling city has merged with Learning A-Z. The app is not remembering their password so students have to type it each time they use Kids A-Z for reading and vocabulary. Vocabulary A-Z is just an extra way of practicing spelling words.

RELIGION: Lent Vocabulary: Fasting, Prayer, Almsgiving

SCIENCE: Last week, we learned about which animal has the biggest heart.
