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 started chapter 12 over measuring length. So far students have estimated the length of an object by relating the length of an object to a known measurement. They also used a ruler to measure length and height of objects in inches, feet, and yards.
GUIDANCE: On April 10 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.
RELIGION: We have been discussing Easter and the resurrection of Jesus.
SCIENCE: We are wrapping up our unit over Earth's surface. Next week we will begin a new unit over changes to Earth's surface.
HANDWRITING: This week students have been practicing the uppercase cursive N, M, H, and K.
