I hope everyone got some good rest after coming back to a full week after Christmas break! We’re diving into some new learning this week and will be cruising along!
Christian Studies:
In Christian Studies this week we’ll transition from the Old Testament to the
New Testament. We’ll start by looking at
the prophesies about Jesus, looking at how God promised to send a Savior. Then we’ll talk about the foretelling and
birth of John the Baptist, paving the way for Jesus to come.
Math:
This week in math we’ll continue to look at strategies for adding and
subtracting. We’ll start to decompose (break
apart) numbers to more quickly and accurately add and subtract. We’ll be looking for the closest ten and we’ll
practice breaking apart ones and tens.
Language Arts:
This week’s spelling concept is consonant-le endings. We’ll learn that these endings are their own
syllable. We’ll practice two new red
words, too: sure, buy. Look for the
family connection page going home on Monday for more information about this
concept.
In reading we’ll take
a deeper look at our text, The Green Kid’s Guide to Watering Plants, and
we’ll answer questions about the text.
We’ll dive into the structure of the text and we’ll give evidence for
why it’s informational text, why the author included headings, and how to use them.
Science:
We’ll start our new unit on what plants need to grow. We’ll introduce the unit and talk about
science safety before we dive into the lessons.
Social Studies:
We’ll look at the word “community” and what it means. Then we’ll play a game online that helps us
determine what we have in our communities and what those things are used
for. We’ll look at places where people
live, work, play, and solve problems.
