Phonics - We have been learning about R-Controlled Vowels.  We like to call them Bossy R's.  An R-Controlled Vowel happens when you have a vowel followed by the letter r.

Math - In math last week we worked on placing pattern blocks into a shape.  We then graphed the pattern blocks that we used.

Science - Our newest PLTW unit is called Sun, Moon, and Stars.  So far we have been learning about the patterns of the sun.  One of the activities we did was build a sundial.  We are waiting for a sunny day this week to go outside and test them.

Reading - Every day we work in daily 5.  We work in reading groups and centers.  Our newest word work center is learning about compound words.

Religion - We finished up our Jesse Tree.  Deacon Darrell came for a visit.  He brought the monstrance with him.  He taught us about the symbols on the monstrance and adoration.

We celebrated Paul's birthday!

Have a great week!  :)
