LANGUAGE ARTS: This week we read and discussed The Best Habitat for Me and The Long, Long Journey. The Best Habitat for Me is an opinion essay while The Long, Long Journey is an informational text. We worked on skills such as decoding compound words, using apostrophes to form contractions, decoding multisyllabic words with the prefixes "pre," "dis," "un," and "re," using story vocabulary in context, and learning ten new high-frequency words.
MATH: We took the chapter 11 test over subtracting within 1,000 and started a new chapter over measuring length. So far students have estimated the length of an object by relating the length of an object to a known measurement, and used a ruler to measure length and height to the nearest inch, foot, and yard.
GUIDANCE: On April 12 we will discuss our final lesson in the guidance book. Lesson 10 is called "More Connections." In this lesson we will identify the different kinds of families we belong to and what we can learn from our families. We will also explain what having a friend means and the importance of friendship.
SCIENCE: We described what happens during an earthquake, volcano, landslide, hurricane, and flood. They all bring about quick changes to Earth's surface. We also learned about Dr. Rosaly M.C. Lopes. She is a volcanologist. A volcanologist is a scientist who studies volcanoes. She studies the history of volcanoes, measures any seismic activity, and collects date which can help to predict future eruptions.
FIRST EUCHARIST: There will be a parent/student session on Sunday, April 13 at 1:00 P.M. in the basement of Holy Spirit Catholic Church for those who will be making their First Eucharist in May.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: School will not be in session next Friday, April 19 due to teacher professional development. We will take the spelling post test on Thursday, April 18.
