October
I can't believe we have finished our first month of school!
Religion: This month we will discuss how we Celebrate God's Love and the seven sacraments. When discussing the sacraments, our focus will start with Baptism.
Math: Our focus this month will be on fact families, missing addends, and problem-solving strategies. We will then discuss place values.
Reading: We will read an informational text about places within a community. We will discuss main ideas then move onto poetry selections. We will focus on text structures and patterns.
Phonics: We will learn about consonant blends. We will then move onto consonant digraphs (ch, sh, wh, th, & ph). Finally we will discuss inflected ending: -s, -es, -ed, & -ing.
Grammar: We will start learning about compound sentences. We will learn how to create them using a comma and a conjunction (and, but, or, nor). Then we will learn about the different kinds of sentences (., ?, !).
Writing: We will work on writing our own expository nonfiction story. Then we will write a realistic fiction story and learn what resources can help us spell words correctly.
Science: We will discuss How Plants are Grouped, How Some Woodland Plants Adapt, and How Some Prairie Plants Adapt.
Handwriting: We will continue to practice manuscript letters.
Have a great month,
Mrs. May
