We have a full week ahead of us! Here's what we're doing this week:
Math:
We'll be finishing up our module on addition and subtraction fluency. We'll use some of the strategies we've learned to add 3 and 4 two-digit numbers, looking for doubles, tens, and near doubles to help us add quickly and accurately.
Christian Studies:
We'll learn about the parable of the sower this week and we'll discuss how we are the soil. We'll discuss what the soil stands for, and we'll determine which soil we'd like to be. We'll also talk about Mary anointing Jesus with expensive perfume, and we'll tie that into Lent.
Language Arts:
This week we'll be spelling words that use a silent e for other uses (other than a magic e). Some of the uses we'll be looking at are:
~after an "s" to distinguish it from a plural
~after an "s" to distinguish between homophones
~after a "v" or "j" to end a word
~after "th" at the end to make a voiced sound
We'll also start a new book called Money Matters! We'll discuss things like budgeting, expenses and income, and the history of money.
Art:
Last week we learned about Georgia O'Keeffe and saw lots of examples of her artwork. Each student received a different picture of a flower, zoomed in, and they used their pencil to draw the details they want to include. This week we'll be using water colors to paint our flowers!
Social Studies:
We'll start a new unit on heroes. We'll discuss what heroes are and how they help us. We'll also talk about heroes for freedom in history.
