Curriculum Corner
Reading: We are continuing to read Stone Fox this week. We are reading chapters 5-6 this week. There is no vocabulary quiz. The kids will be working on a vocabulary project on Friday. There is no need for them to memorize definitions but we will be incorporating these words into the project. They will be able to use their journals with the definitions to help them.
Math: We will begin multiplication this week and will continue with it over the next couple weeks. The best thing you can do at home is help your child memorize their facts 0-12.
Topic 5 in the Pearson Math Text Book covers multiplication and offers good practice. All students should have brought home their login information!
Science: We will be alternating science and social studies. We will do 2 weeks of science then 2 weeks of social studies. This will give us an opportunity to go deeper with our science and social studies topics. The next 2 weeks will be science. We are beginning to learn about animals and how they are classified. We will start this week with invertebrates in vertebrates.
