Updates for February 6^th – 10^th

Reading

We will work in our Guided Reading groups next week. We will use our centers to review verbs, compound words, Spelling, graphing, writing, and habitats.

Phonics/English/Spelling

We will focus on compound words and one/two syllable words in Phonics. In English we will continue our unit covering verbs by discussing verbs that tell about the present and how to use pronouns with verbs. We will move on to unit 20 in Spelling which covers words that end with and –s or –es.

Science/Social Studies

We will move on to a new habitat in S.S. – oceans. We will also discuss penguins.

Math

We will wrap up our data and graphing chapter next week by learning about line plots and locating points on a grid. Two key words for next week include range (the difference between the greatest and least number in a set of numerical information) and mode (the number that appears most often throughout the information).

Religion

We will talk about the loving actions that Jesus calls us to do and identify actions that provide loving service. We will also talk about the very important people recognized for devoting their lives to loving service for other, or saints.

What a great way to show pride in our school and celebrate the significance of a Catholic education. Although I am sad to see it end, I am thrilled to have a normal week next week!
