Reading: This week we review recounting stories and the importance of how the beginning of the story introduces the characters, setting, and problem, the middle is the struggle to resolve the problem, and the end is the solution to the problem.
Phonics: Prefix: micro - meaning small (ex. microjet, microform) Red Words: arrived, courts, knee, heard Language Arts: This week we introduce reflexive pronouns. The nine English reflexive pronouns are myself, yourself, himself, herself, oneself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, and themselves. We continue to work on writing complete sentences with a subject (naming part) and a predicate (action part). We also continue to use correct capitalization and punctuation. Writing: Our last writing unit is narrative. We will incorporate the story elements we are reviewing and previewing in Reading. Math: This week we continue to identify shapes according to their attributes. Students must dentify triangles, quadrilaterals (four sided shapes), pentagons, hexagons, and cubes (the only 3-d shape we study). Students will need to understand that shapes in different categories (e.g., rhombuses, rectangles, and others) may share attributes (e.g., having four sides), and that the shared attributes can define a larger category (e.g., quadrilaterals). Recognize rhombuses, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories. Science: We continue our study the life cycles of animals and plants. Comments are closed.
