Spelling - We will not have a spelling list this week. Next week we will have a list of words with the suffix -es. The students have asked me to send the list home so they can start practicing. :) The list is also already loaded into Vocabulary A-Z (Spelling City).
Phonics - We worked on 2 syllable words (both closed and v-e) that have a suffix -s, -ed, and -ing. We are now learning about when to use the suffix -es. You use the suffix -es when a base word ends in x, ch, sh, s, and z.
Reading - We continue to work in our daily five centers and reading groups. This will be our last week of homophones for word work. The students have really enjoyed the homophone centers! This week we added a new center - Fantastic Facts! The students look through a non-fiction book, find a fact, write it down, and illustrate it! In the next week or so we will start working on our end of the year running records.
Social Studies - We are up to 41 states and capitals!
Science - We continue learning about organisms. Last week we worked on comparing and contrasting our water plants and land plants. We read a story about four amazing plants - the giant water lily, the rafflesia, the venus flytrap, and the saguaro cactus. We finished up our planting cards and took our seeds home. We continue to monitor and observe the organisms in our terrariums and our aquariums.
Math - In math we worked on polygons, subtracting 10 from a number, and subtraction problems with a difference of 2.
Religion - We worked on our Promise Paper. We are starting a new virtue - orderliness. We had a church tour with Brother Jacob. On Friday we celebrated May Crowning.
We celebrated three birthdays - Serenity, Flynn, and Eliana
