LANGUAGE ARTS: This week we read and discussed a realistic fiction selection called Picture Day Perfection. We worked on skills such as identifying words with long vowels "a" and "i," using story vocabulary in context, identifying statements, questions, commands, and exclamations, identifying sounds for /c/ and /g/ as in "cent," "car," "goat," and "giant," decoding word with "ed" and "ing" endings, and learning ten new high-frequency words.
MATH: Students decided if a group of objects was even or odd, used different ways to tell if a group of objects showed an even or odd number, and found the total number of objects in a set of rows and columns.
RELIGION: This week we focused on ways we can praise and thanks to God. We explored celebrations in which we give thanks and recognized prayers of praise and thanks.
SCIENCE: Students learned what a mechanical engineer does. They used books, paper, and pencils to build a "bridge" design. They also worked in groups to create the tallest possible freestanding tower using index cards and tape. They analyzed and compared multiple design solutions. Students realized that engineers plan and build many possible solutions, test each one to see how well it works, and find ways to improve it.
BOOK ORDERS: Book orders are due tomorrow, September 19 if you are interested in ordering. To order online, our class code is LJWD4.
SPIRIT DAY: Tomorrow, September 19 is a Spirit Day. Students can pay $1.00 to wear a hat or sweatpants to school if they wish. The money raised helps those in need in our local community.
