Week 4
“Be silly, be honest, be kind.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
It was wonderful seeing all of you at Back to School night. I truly appreciate all the support I receive. The children benefit most when there is a strong home/school connection.
Our field trip to Fire Island is on Friday. Children should dress appropriately for the weather with long pants. Make sure your child brings his/her lunch to school. We will also have the opportunity to visit the gift shop. A reminder note is going home this week.
Social Studies: We are continuing our unit on Mexico. The students are focusing on the land of Mexico. We are continuing our work on describing where it is geographically located, the different types of land formation, the plants and animals, as well as what it is like living in different climates. We are learning the following vocabulary words: geography, land formation, plains, plateau, volcano, rain forest, and climate.
Math: We are having our first chapter test on Tuesday, October 2nd. It will cover addition and subtraction. We will be reviewing in class, and I will send home a review packet during the week. Additionally, children should be practicing their math facts using Xtramath.org.
ELA: Our spelling words this week are lay, real, trail, sweet, today, dream, seem, tea, treat, afraid, leave, bait, screen, speed, paint, please, yesterday, and explain We are reading and discussing Destiny’s Gift. The vocabulary words for this story are afford, customers, contacted, raise, earn, figure, block, and spreading. We are also working on antonyms, words with the opposite meaning. In grammar, we are working on identifying and writing compound sentences. We are identifying these sentence as two simple sentences joined together with a comma and a conjunction (and, but, to, and or). We are having vocabulary and spelling tests on Friday.
