February 2nd - 6th

This week, we are wrapping up our discussion on Black History by creating posters of who we thoroughly enjoyed learning about. Aside from that, we will continue learning about 2 more very important people in our nation's history . . . George Washington and Abraham Lincoln! Below is a rundown of everything else that we we will be working on next week.
Reading/Units of Study: We will identify key details and the central message within a text. We will understand how to take notes on important information. We will understand the meaning of the words equality (being equal or treated the same), president (the chief leader of our country) and contribution (the act of giving). We will also be learning about prepositions. Here is a great video on prepositions that I'm sure will bring back some memories for the parents!!!

Writer's Workshop: We will share our personal narratives with our classmates. We will write an opinion piece about which person made the biggest contribution to US history.

Math: We will compare numbers to identify which is greater than and less than using >, <, and =. We will also be able to identify mystery numbers based on riddles. The topic 10 math letter/game will be sent home later this week.

Phonics: We will be able to read and write contractions. The words for the week are: I'm, isn't, can't, don't, it's, let's, she's, he's, that's, and who's. Our test will be on Friday, and as always, head to Spelling City to get some fun practice in! Also, here is a fun video on contractions.

Shining Star: This past week we got to learn all about Caleb's likes and dislikes, and during the week of February 2nd, we will get to learn more about our new Shining Star . . . Isabella! I will be sending stuff home today with our new Shining Star!
