Literacy
This week students learned about Adjectives – they learned what an adjective is, different types of adjectives; that tell what kind and how many.
The writing type students are learning about this half of the term, is Descriptive Writing (Fictional Story).
We also practiced using the dictionary, please allow your child to continue doing so at home. They can practice dictionary use by searching for the words from their spelling lists.
There are no new words this week. In your child’s folder you will find two lists of vocabulary words. Students received those words on previous spelling lists, students need to review them. I will choose words at random from both lists for the next Spelling Test on March 29, 2019.
Social Studies
For this half term, students will be learning about the Cayman Islands and the contribution of other nationalities. Students will be exploring their lives presently and what is accessible to them in present day. This week students started learning about history (the past), as the past helps to shape the present.
Project
Students were given a project and an essay preparation outline this week.
There will be no test for this half of the term, instead students will write an essay in class. In order to write this essay students will need to collect as much information from their families. This essay will be written in class on May 3, 2019. You can help your child prepare to do this, by having him/her practice writing the essay at home. Whatever is written at home must not be taken to class, it is merely practice.
Reminder
Students have a Bible Test on Monday March 18, 2019. Review notes were given.
