ACADEMICS

Reading: As we read books in series, we are learning how to predict what will happen in our books based on our understanding of the characters. We are also learning how authors use descriptive words to help us paint pictures in our minds as we read.

Phonics: We are learning to keep vowel teams together when decoding words, how identify r-controlled vowels, and how to use the -ture word part in multisyllabic words.

Spelling: Please check your child’s planner for their new sort. Some students may work on a sort for two weeks. Spelling tests will be on Monday.

Math: We are learning how to double and halve numbers. We are also learning how to collect, record, interpret data, and find the middle value (median) of a set data.

Writing: We continue writing opinion letters about our favorite books.

Religion: We are learning how we belong to the Body of Christ (the Church) and are called to share God’s love.

Social Studies: We are learning about food production and consumption long ago and today.

Science: None this week.

Art: Art with Miss Sofer every Wednesday!
