Literacy
This week, we reviewed the topics taught last week. Students learned about CVC syllable patterns – paying attention to two syllable words containing a and i vowel sounds.
In Grammar we looked at using a, an, the in sentences and putting words in alphabetical order. Students started learning about Expository Writing (children friendly term – telling what I know). We related this to comprehension, by writing information that we know from the book in correct sequence and using those points to write at least one sentence about each section of the story.
Please spend at least 15 mins. reading to your child each night and asking questions; how, why, what, where, when, during the story. You can integrate this with bible as a part of your nightly devotions – we will be reading portions of Exodus chapters 3- 12 next week.
Bible
Students learned about Abraham last week and this week. Next week we’ll be studying Moses.
Social Studies
Students learned about identifying different areas on a map and using a key to read a map. We started studying the map of the area of Bodden Town.
Mathematics
We looked at place value for numbers in the hundreds, we also wrote theses numbers in expanded and standard form.
Science
We looked at the life cycle of the butterfly.
Reminders
Starting next week students must have their school hats to play during recess. If they do not have their hats they will be asked to sit in the breeze way during play times. If students ordered school hats and have not received them, they may wear a personal hat.
