CURRICULUM UPDATES
MATH
In math we have been doing a lot with fractions. We have learned 1/2, 1/3. 1/4, 1/8 . We have discussed that fractions are a part of a whole. We have learned how many parts are in a fractional shape and how many we would need to make it a whole shape.
We have a new warm-up and we are really excited to watch the children grow with it. It is called TARGET MATH and it is a system that is cylical and will cover the same mathematical concepts every couple of weeks. The numbers and the level of difficulty change but the concept does not. This will help them solidify mathematical language, review concepts on a review basis, allow for repeated practice for those who still need it. It's a Win- Win situation.
SPELLING
Please work with your child on remembering the pattern of the spelling words instead of just memorizing them.
READING-WRITING-LANGUAGE
We continue to grow sentences with adjectives and adverbs as we write. We continue to review comprhension strategies each week, we have learned about pronouns and contractions.
IC
We are starting our units on science and we will be learning and doing all at the same time!!!!
HAVE A GREAT SPRING BREAK
