Another Week!

Hard to believe we only have 2 weeks left in January.  Here is an update for the week of January 20th.

Language Arts

Spelling:

This week we will be having our spelling review test of the last 20 words (the last 4 weeks of new words).  The words are as follows:

can, man, love, good, yellow, big, are, home, said, green, of, all, call, your, very, on, him, went, from, made

Writing:

This week we are putting an emphasis on writing informative sentences.  Our focus is on making sure we have detail in our writing, while remembering our capital letter and period.  

Word Work:

We are continuing twice a week, making words, as well as our word family for this week is "est"

Math

This week in math, on Monday we will continue with measurement.  We extended our opening lesson dealing with comparing lengths (longer, shorter, same length).  We will continue with addition to 12 the rest of the week, including doubles (4+4, 6+6).

Science

We finished up our needs of animals unit and will begin the "My Five Senses" unit.

Social Studies

We will be finishing up our geography unit, talking about landmarks in our community.  For example, we will be discussing landmarks that we see in Leduc (and Edmonton) that identify the community.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week ahead.
