We will be working hard in the classroom as we:
Religion: Wrap up our chapter on the four marks of the CHURCH. These marks are: One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic.
Math: Show our understanding of DIVISION as the students practice the different strategies they learned. Due to the field trip and short week the students will not have Math Simple Solution Lessons to complete. We will start up again the week of February 16th.
Reading: The students have done an amazing job presenting their BIOGRAPHY book reports. Presentations will continue this week. We will also continue reading short passages from iReady to work on vocabulary and comprehension skills.
Spelling: Due to the field trip and short week the students will not have a Spelling list to memorize this week. We will start up again the week of February 16th.
Phonics: The students started Unit 4 in our Phonics Series. This Unit will have the students reviewing and learning about: contractions, adding -s and -es to the ends of words to make them plural. We will also work with the inflectional endings -s, -ed and -ing. The students will learn about the meanings of the suffixes: -ful, -less, -y, -ly, -ness, -er, -able, -ible, -ion, -ment and -er when they are added to base words.
