Math:
This week we are finishing Lesson 15 and beginning Lesson 16. We are taking our multiplication skills and putting them to the test by using a formula to solve for area. In lesson 16 we will learn how to use multiplication and addition to find the area of composite shapes.
Reading:
In Unit 3 Week 3, our comprehension skill is identifying main idea and key details. This week we are reading expository texts, Earth and Its Neighbors and Earth. We are going to be practicing our skills of summarizing as well as studying suffixes.
Phonics:
r-controlled vowels and suffixes
Vocabulary:
-surface -amount -astronomy -globe -solar system -support -temperature -warmth
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 Mrs. Alexander – 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.
