Week 4 Update
Hi Everyone!
So sorry for the late blog post. I forgot to press Publish! Here's a few dates to keep in mind for the coming week:
Sept. 5 - Spalding/Singapore Night from 6:00-7:30. This will be an evening geared towards helping learn how to support your child with spelling and math homework.
Sept. 12 - Love and Logic talk with Larry Kerby from 6:30-8:00. I highly recommend you attend this talk by Larry Kerby, a Love and Logic trainer. He has come to speak to Lincoln teachers a few times and he is fantastic!
Academics for the week:
This week in ELA, we will continue in Pollyanna with discussing imagery and focusing on comprehension. In grammar, we will study synonyms and antonyms and subject nouns. Your children recited the poem, "Dreams" well and will receive "Afternoon on a Hill" to recite the week of September 11th. Our first spelling and phonogram tests will be on Friday. There will be 30 spelling words on the test and a separate test for 10 of the phonograms.
In math this week, we’ll be wrapping up our unit on whole numbers by introducing word problems. There will be a test on Friday covering all the topics we’ve studied in math so far, including place value, estimation, factors, and multiples.
In Science, we are excited to begin this week with our unit on "Geology: The Earth and Its Changes". The unit starts off with the study of the Earth's layers. Students will be able to identify the layers of the Earth through hands on activities as well as building their own 3D models.
This week in History/Geography we will be learning about the 4 time zones in the United States. Students will explore how ET, CT, MST, PST compare with other time zones in the US and across the globe. We will also begin our study of physical maps. Students will learn the importance of these maps and how to read changes in elevation on a physical map.
Have a great week!
