Christian Studies:

This week in Christian Studies we’ll continue chronologically through the Old Testament.  We’ll first learn how God delivered His people from slavery in Egypt.  We’ll also talk about Mose and Miriam’s response to being delivered—their songs.  We’ll discuss how these stories apply to our own lives.

Math:

In math this week, we’ll continue looking at graphs.  We’ll interpret bar graphs, and then we’ll make bar graphs to represent data.  We’ll finish off the week with a test on picture and bar graphs.

Language Arts:
This week we’ll examine our last Bossy R combination that says /er/--ur.  We’ll practice spelling words with Bossy R ur and will keep practicing our new red words for the week.

We’ll also start a new text.  We’ll start by looking at people who help their communities.  Then we’ll learn about the genre informational text.  Then we’ll read our new text: Places We Go. 

Science:

In science we’ll talk about where we can find ice and snow on Earth.  Then the students will plan out where they will put ice and snow on their models.  We’ll also start to examine patterns that we can find on Earth dealing with land and water, then we’ll add some of those patterns to our models.
