LANGUAGE ARTS: This week we read and discussed a collection of poems called Poems in the Attic. We also discussed a short video called What's for Lunch Around the World. We worked on skills such as decoding words with long /a/ and /e,/ decoding words with vowel teams /ai,/ /ay,/ /ee,/ /ea,/ and /oa,/ decoding words with the suffixes "ed," "ing," "less," "ful," "ly," and "ion," using story vocabulary in context, and learning ten new high-frequency words.
MATH: This week students wrapped up chapter 13 by partitioning rectangles into equal-size squares and making equal shares that did not have the same shape. Tomorrow we will begin chapter 14 over more addition, subtraction, and length.
SCIENCE: We described how the heart and lungs work together to carry oxygen to all of the body parts. We discussed how exercise helps make the heart and lungs stronger and healthier.
RELIGION: We discussed that the Holy Spirit gives the Church spiritual gifts. Some of these gifts are wisdom, healing, knowledge, and faith. God also gives each one of us special gifts and wants us to use these gifts to help others.
HANDWRITING: This week students practiced writing the uppercase cursive G, S, L, and P.
