Math There will be a test over unit 1 on Friday of this week.The students should bring their books home to study. I will also send home a pretest so they can get a look at what their real test will look like. They should also look over the sheets in their math folders for a review.
Spelling - This week the pattern is long and short "a" and "e". A pretest will be given on Monday. Test on Friday. Any assistance you can give your child with writing their cursive letters correctly would be very helpful.
Reading - This week, we will focus on story structure. We will use a story map to look at how a problem and its solution affect the story’s plot and characters. When your child is reading at home, you can practice and review story structure by asking them to identify characters, setting, and plot (which includes the problem, sequenced events, and the solution).
English The students will learn about the subject and predicate of a sentence and simple subject and simple predicates of a sentence. They will identify and edit run-on sentences. There will be a DOL quiz on Tuesday of this week. A review will be sent home on Monday. There will be a test over unit 1 The Sentence on Tuesday of next week. The students will have homework throughout the week to help them review the concepts of this unit.
Science- We will begin our worm unit this week on Tuesday, so the kids should bring in their worms and habitats on Tuesday. As we progress through our worm unit the students will continue to learn about the scientific method.
Social Studies - This week the children will learn about the three branches of government. They will understand the role of each branch and where they are housed.
