ELA-Reading & Language Arts Our comprehension strategy is inferring for theme 3. Students are working to learn how to use context clues and their background knowledge to make inferences. We have been working on long vowel sound words using the V-C-e pattern in spelling. We are returning to the writing form of story reviewing realistic fiction story elements.
Science- We are continuing to learn about plants. The students have been enjoying the experiments we have done. Our chapter 2 test will be on Friday October 23. Students should study the chapter and their notes in spiral notebooks.
Math- We have begun unit 2 which is about addition and subtraction strategies. Please work on the basic facts with your child multiple times per week. All students should be to the point of having rapid recall for the 1-20 facts (1+7=8; 12+8=20; 17-6=11, etc.) The unit 1 math test has been returned to your child and should be in their home folder tonight.
Religion- We are moving into session 4 of our religion workbook. Session 4, Jesus Is with Us, talks about how we put our trust in God and Jesus.
