Language Arts:
This week's story: Fox and Bear Look at the Moon
Strategy: Summarizing
Skill: Context Clues
Phonics: Final blends (-nt, -nd, -lp, -lk, -st, -mp)
Writing: adding detail sentences, complete sentences, capitalization, punctuation, 4-square organization of writing (these skills are ongoing)
Math:
We will be starting our time unit this week! (S.O.L. 1.8) Students will learn to tell time to the hour and half-hour, using analog and digital clocks. I'm sure they will be excited to tell you the time... A LOT! =) Please encourage the use of analog clocks, since that's a difficult concept for many children. The more practice, the better it will 'stick'.
Science
The children will be learning about different kinds of motion (S.O.L. 1.2) - straight, circular, and back and forth. They'll also be exploring how pushes and pulls may change the movement of an object. This is a fun unit - I'm looking forward to it!!
