Hello and Happy Sunday!
Spelling:
We completed lessons 32A and 32C where we focused on tricky y guy, endings, consonant chunks, vowel chunks, bossy r chunks and silent letters.
Language Arts:
First, we completed Daily Grams Day 121 and Day 123. The students completed this for their morning work and we checked and discussed it later in the day. Next, the students completed a Storymaker activity. Lastly, the students discussed and answered questions about chapters 8-13 of Because of Winn-Dixie and brainstormed for their rough draft. Please have your student complete the reading for chapters 14-20 before the 1st co-op day this week.
My plan is to watch the movie and compare and contrast the book and movie using a Venn diagram for the final project. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding the movie. :) There will be no final project your child will need to complete at home.
Math:
For math, we completed pages 149-151 which focused on Adding Mixed Numbers. Also, we completed pages 154-155 which focused on Equivalent Fractions. Fractions can be difficult, but they are dong so well! We are going to continue to review these each morning.
Science:
This week we learned about alcohols and esters. For our experiment, we used isopropyl alcohol, orange peels, and clove essential oil to make perfume. After letting them sit for a week, I will give each student a small dab to let them smell the perfume. Lastly, we filled out a lab report sheet and answered questions together.
History:
For History, we focused on lessons titled "The Postwar World" and "Television and Music." We read, answered questions and defined vocabulary words. The kids loved this section. We listened to a few songs by Elvis Presley and I shared with them some of my family history and how I am related to Sam Phillips.
Reminders:
May 6th- Field Day
Love,
Mrs. Rider
