Curriculum Catch Up
Grammar- We have studied the two parts of a sentence: subject and predicate, nouns, making nouns plural, and adjectives. This week we will practice editing sentences.
Writing- We finished writing our first personal narrative story and created Non-Fiction Text Feature Guides to use in reading and a future writing project. Over the next two weeks we will look at writing compelling beginnings, using sentence variety, and elaborative details.
Math- We are almost through Unit 2: Addition and Subtraction Facts. We worked on understanding shortcuts to help us with fact knowledge. Ask your child about doubles, +9, and fact families. The test for this unit will be on Friday, October 24. We will work on a review guide in class Thursday. Look for it to come home that day.
Social Studies- We are almost done our second unit: Our Government. This unit explores our local, state, and national government. They will look at how we choose our leaders and how we show our pride as citizens of the nation. The unit will most likely conclude around the end of the month. I will send home study guides a few days before the test. Check homework planners for dates.
