Dear Parents,

Week at a Glance

This week in handwriting we wrote sentences about routines. in language we practiced doubling consonants before adding endings and learned the “j” sound spelled “g” and “dge”. In religion we learned about holy week and Jesus’ road to the cross. This week in math we practiced dividing shapes into equal halves and fourths. In reading we worked on comparative endings “-er” and “-est”. This week in science we studied the sun’s pattern of rising and setting. In social studies we learned about our rights and responsibilities as citizens.
