Math:
We are starting Unit 3 this week with Lesson 14, which is finding the area of shapes. We are taking our multiplication skills and putting them to the test.
Reading:
In Unit 3 Week 2, our comprehension skill is cause an effect. This week we are reading historical fiction stories, Jane’s Tale and Finding Lincoln. We are going to be practicing our use of visualization as well as working on idioms.
Phonics:
r-controlled vowels and prefixes
Vocabulary:
-temporary -donated -leader -bravery -disappear -nervous -amazement -refused
In class, we learn about these vocabulary words in connection to ourselves. If you notice your child using any of these words in context, this would be a great opportunity to celebrate their efforts!
DECEMBER POEMS
Each month students are required to memorize at least one poem. Below are the month’s poems. We only read through these in class once, so they need to be practiced at home. Students can pass off poems on Fridays whenever they are ready to recite them.
OPTIONAL – yet HIGHLY encouraged by Ms. Beckstead – REVIEW
- Read at least 20 minutes per day. Making sure that your child does his/her reading daily is the single most helpful thing you can do to support educational success.
