Welcome to February! I hope everyone had a nice weekend!
Joke of the week: What do astronauts like to read?
Language Arts- This week we will begin Unit 4 of our Journey’s series, lesson 16. Our essential question is, What kinds of things do scientists study? We will read, Dear Mr. Blueberry and What is Science?. As we read the stories we will focus on the details, the main idea, and summarizing. We will be learning even more sight words, now we have 6 for each week. Some are ones we already know, and some are new! The sight words we will focus on are: is, of, many, how, so, where. We will review the long and short sounds of the letter Ii and words that have an “i” in the middle and their word families. In grammar, we will learn about questions: question words (Who, what, where, when, why), how they end in a question mark, and how to create question sentences.
Language Arts Centers- This weeks centers will be reading and creating correct sentences, sight words, word family endings such as -it, -in, -id, -ip, and sounding out and identifying CVC words associated with pictures to spell them out.
Math- This week we will have our Chapter 7 test on numbers 11-20.
Math Centers- This weeks math centers will deal with numbers 1-20. These topics include numbers 1-20, addition, subtraction, and more!
Jesus Time- We will read our Children’s Beginner Bible Stories that they love and watch videos on the stories we read to follow-up on what we read and understand each story a little more!
Science: This week we will continue to discuss about the weather and winter animals. Last week we learned about Groundhog Day and watched the news report telling us that he saw his shadow…so six more weeks of winter it might be!
Social Studies: This month is Black History Month, therefore we will be learning about various influential people and events that have and are leaving a great impact on our society. We will talk about each person, watch a video, read a story, and do an activity or coloring page to help us further put a face to the name. Some people we will be discussing are Jackie Robinson, Astronaut Mae Jemison, Rosa Parks, Dr. Luther King Jr., and more!
Have a wonderful week!!
