Writing:
This week we will be reading a passage from How to Eat Fried Worms. Students will answer comprehension questions in complete sentences, and write a model sentence from the passage to copy in their notebooks.
Grammar:
Students will continue to review parts of a sentence and practice making meaningful sentences on their own.
Literature:
We will continue our study of fairy tales with the story of Puss in Boots. Students will continue to review the elements of fairy tales and understand the first, middle and ending of the story. They will have an opportunity as a class to write their own fairy tale story to share with the other classes! We will have an oral assessment for this unit on Friday.
History:
This week we will begin our study of Modern Civilization and Culture with Mexico. Mexico has a rich and varied history and combines native American and Spanish legacies to create a vibrant culture. Students will learn the location of Mexico relative to Canada and the United States. They will recognize the Mexican culture through a study of their holidays, landforms, and art.
Math:
This week we will continue to grow our counting and addition skills for numbers 1-40. We will also be reviewing many of the skills and concepts that we have learned throughout the entire year including shapes, position, and "greater than" and "less than". We will celebrate our 100th day of school on Tuesday by completing many activities that will help us conceptualize just how big the number 100 really is.
Science:
This week we will continue our study of the human body with the Circulatory System. Systems will identify the functions and components of the system. They will learn to take their pulse, and identify the components of their blood.
