The next book we will be reading is Sarah. Plain and Tall. Please send it in with your sweet student by Monday February 27th.
Here is a look at our learning this week:
Language arts: In ELA this week we will read a tall tale and discuss the components of a tall tale, and how that differs from a fairy tale. We will continue to diagram sentences in grammar, we are doing SUCH a great job with this, and can diagram sentences with TWO prepositions! We have finished up Cricket in Times Square and will be starting our next book; Sarah Plain and Tall next week!
Math: We are learning about MONEY! Coins, dollars, change, oh my! We will work on reviewing coin value, adding two prices together, as well as attacking word problems. When purchasing something talk to your child about the cost, and ask what the cost would be if the item were 10 cents, or 2 dollars more. Mental math is still a strategy we are working to strengthen!
Science: We are moving from learning about how our human body work as a machine to learning about simple machines! Can your scholar identify simple machines at home or around their community? We are excited to embark on this hands-on unit!
History: We will continue looking at The Constitution, paying close attention to The Bill of Rights this week. We are working to memorize The Preamble, how much an you history buff recite (sing) to you?
