We will memorize a little bit at a time. PLEASE SEND YOUR CHILD TO SCHOOL IN A RED T-SHIRT ON THIS DAY. (: The white t-shirts will be important to our big show!
*Note- you may have noticed I have not returned book bags back the last couple weeks. I am trying to collect them now so it is not a scramble at the end of the year. If you have not returned yours recently please do so. Thank you!*
In reading we have been focusing on blending words in our head, and fluency by using punctuation marks to help us to know when to stop. Our phonics has been focusing on Syllables, and substituting sounds. Next week will be there last week of our Journey's Curriculum! We of course will continue to learn. We really will be reading, writing, and practicing our sight words to to finish off our year strong! I have put together a sight word book of all the words we have practiced that they will keep at school. If you would like a book for home let me know and I will send one home=)
In math we are learning about shapes and how many sides and vertices they have. Big word I know! They learned vertices is another word for corners=)
In writing we have started a fiction unit. This can be a little tricky because most of the year we have written about real things. They are having fun with it though!
Science- We have received our caterpillars! The students are having so much fun watching them grow and crawl around! We are excited for them to transform into butterflies. I am hoping to be able to release them with the kiddos before school is out!
In Bible we heard the story of Paul and Silas having to go to prison, but even in prison they sang praises to God. The story ends with the jailers family being saved. I think this is something even for us adults to learn. God can take horrible things and turn them into beautiful things. Let's always sing praises to our God because he is good through it all!
