Upcoming Star of the Week: John S.
Math: On
Wednesday we began unit ten, Adding with Tens and Ones. In this unit we will continue using the
hundreds chart as a tool to solve +/- 1 and 10 as well as move to using mental
math to solve.
We are so happy to see so many students improving with their
math facts. Thank you for the practice
you are doing at home!
Religion: Students
are exploring the Stations of the Cross and are making connections between Holy
Thursday and Good Friday.
Phonics: We are continuing work in
our ninth unit. This does not introduce
a new spelling pattern, but will teach about the closed syllable concept with
short vowels, explore closed vs. open syllables, and introduce vowel teams for
reading. This unit will span two
weeks. Look for the “Fred the Frog”
short story in your child’s bag early next week. This story has been “scooped” for phrasing,
and your child can fluently read this passage independently.
Reading/Writing:
Please check out the blog below to see
our recent lesson on making prediction using The Napping House. Students were asked to think critically about
realistic predictions. Students then
recorded their predictions and listed the clues that lead them to make their
choice. After reading we explored the
ways in which some of our predictions became reality and some predictions were
different than the outcome.
