LANGUAGE ARTS: This week we read and discussed Recipe for a Fairy Tale and How to Read a Story. Both are procedural texts. We worked on skills such as decoding words with consonants /k/ and /ck,/ adding -s and -es to present-tense verbs, decoding words with silent letters /kn,/ /mb,/ /gn,/ and /wr,/ as in knot, comb, gnat, and write, decoding words with suffixes "ful" and "less" as in colorful and hopeless, decoding homographs (words with multiple meanings,) discussing chronological order to put steps in the correct order, using story vocabulary in context, and learning ten new high-frequency words.
MATH: We took the chapter 4 test over fluently adding within 100 and started a new chapter over subtracting within 100 using strategies. So far students have used a hundred chart and an open number line to subtract tens and ones.
RELIGION: We discussed how the Holy Spirit helps us to do better and recognized that God loves us and rejoices when we are truly sorry for our sins.
SCIENCE: We discussed how matter can change. Some of those changes are reversible, such as freezing and melting, while others are irreversible, such as cooking or burning.
