Language Arts: We will be reviewing
–ge and -dge sounds in our word
work and learn about common suffixes. We will be doing some reading assessments
this week. In writing we are working on our informative pieces and putting
together our writing portfolios.
Mathematics: We are working on
shapes and patterns. This week our focus will be on solids and then we will be
working on patterns.
Science: We will continue our
study of solids this week. The vocabulary words that are used to describe solid
materials include: flexible, rigid, smooth, rough, soft, hard, colored pointed,
flat, transparent, opaque and translucent.
Ways
you can help at home: Keep
your child on a school routine as much as you possibly can. I know it is a busy
time of year but ensuring your child has enough rest and reminding him or her
that there is still learning to be done at school is important. Read and talk
about the most important part in the story and why you think that was the most
important.
Writing Journals: Please enjoy your
child’s journal and make sure it comes back for Tuesday.
