Dear Parents,
Week at a Glance
We are learning about how Israel went from having judges to kings as their leaders in religion class. Our memory for this week is the ninth commandment. We discussed how coveting is similar to jealousy. We are practicing one-syllable words that end in “-ck” or began with “w”. We are practicing music for Christmas and “America the Beautiful” for Veteran’s Day in our choir rehearsals. Our reading lessons are on words beginning with the consonants “Dd”, “Ll”, and “Hh”. We began a new unit in science and are studying plants and animals. We are learning about American heroes in social studies. Our handwriting lesson this week is on writing two-digit numbers with precision. We are writing more during language and are learning to correct sentences using capitalization and punctuation. This week in math we are reviewing prior knowledge about subtraction.
