Here’s a quick overview of new things we learned this week:
Comprehension strategy/skill: “Make and confirm predictions”/”Events: Sequence”. We read several different texts to go along with our theme: “Problem Solvers: What can happen when we work together?”
High Frequency Words (Power Words): good, who
Sound and spelling review: v and x /ks/ and introduced long /u/.
Vocabulary: opinion, decide, grateful, marvel, ragged
Math: Lesson 25 Compose and Decompose Teen Numbers with Symbols
Science: This week, we investigated how to bring light and warmth to a cold mountain town that doesn’t see the sun throughout winter. (This lesson is actually based on the story of a real town in Norway)! Students experimented with different materials and discovered that sunlight can be redirected using reflective materials. Encourage your child to notice the heating effects of the sun all around them!
