Reading, the children will continue to be exposed t entertaining stories. It will be from theses stories
that they will continue to work on story elements such as characters, setting, plots, and summarizing
what they have read. The children, through various activities, will be using context clues to get the
main idea, find supporting details, draw conclusions, and discover the meaning of new vocabulary.
Your child will receive information on a book report and when the assignments is due.
English: English will take us on the road to nouns, possessive nouns, abbreviations for titles, days and
months. We will also travel down another path with verbs. That study will include action verbs, linking
verbs, and helping verbs. This quarter the children will do some explanatory writing. They will be
writing in sequence, putting together a "how to " list of doing a ask or making something.
Spelling: Spelling will take us in the direction of words with sounds that contain vowel = r ( dark, clear,
storm, her, girl, turn, work), the sound "oi"(coin, boy", the "j" sound (stage, jump, judge, giraffe), and
the "k" and "kw" sounds (quick, park, crack). To assist your child with spelling, it would be beneficial if
your child would review five words each night.
Social Studies: This first quarter takes us into the geography, resources, and environment of
communities, including various landforms and mapping. Along with that, we will discover early
communities in America and begin talking about American on the move.
Religion: We will finish up with studying Saints. We will recall some familiar prayers to show unity in
what we pray for. We will learn how Jesus shows us how to love, forgive, and heal. We will study
Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, The Great Commandment, The Ten Commandments, and the Holy
Spirit.
Friday Folders: Each student will use their previously purchased eight
pocket folder to hold papers
for all subject areas and any homework given. Your child should be sure to
bring the folder to
school each day. Graded papers, Weekly Progress Reports, and notes from the
office will be sent
home on Fridays in their Friday folder. Please sign and return the Weekly
Progress Report and any
work consisting of a 79% or below.
