Dear Parents,
Week at a Glance
This week in handwriting we are practicing writing the letter “o”. In language we are correcting sentences for punctuation and capitalization as well as working on alphabet skills. For memory we are learning the tenth commandment which reminds us not to be jealous of what others have. This week in religion we are learning about the Reformation as well as the story of God calling Samuel. Our math lessons are focusing on measurement including estimating and comparing the length of objects. We are beginning a new unit in reading and are reading informational text as well as identifying elements of poetry. In science we are learning about plant traits. In social studies we are reviewing our unit on community helpers.
