Literacy:
This week students continued learning about CVC pattern words. We transitioned to longer words. Students achieved the challenge of making sentences and further including a cvc pattern word in each sentence. Students wrote a full expository writing this week consisting of three paragraphs.
In comprehension students learned how to compare and contrast (student friendly language – tell the difference).
Social Studies:
This week students learned the importance of a map scale and how measurement varies.
Please check your child’s folder for a Social Studies project outline.
Bible:
Students started learning about Moses this week. They learned about Moses’ upbringing, his humility and his obedience to God in delivering the Hebrews out of Egypt.
As you read with your child for at least 15 mins. each night, you may prepare him/her for the week ahead as we will study Exodus chapters 12 – 15 and Psalm 145.
Numeracy:
- We looked at rounding two-digit numbers to the nearest ten.
- We reviewed writing three-digit numbers in standard and expanded form.
Science:
- We reviewed the life cycle of the butterfly and compared it with the life cycle of a cat.
