Week at a Glance

Week of May 3-7, 2021

Math: As we continue our chapter on shapes, we will focus more on three-dimensional shapes and introducing the concept of fractions. Students will be able to identify halves, thirds, and fourths of rectangles and other objects.

Science: During Science we will explore where light sounds come from. We will watch a series of Mystery Science videos and experiment with building a head harp.

Language Arts: We will continue working on our cursive writing during Writing Workshop. We will also try our hand at different forms of poetry, specifically cinquain poems. Our grammar skill will focus on using verbs correctly in the past, present, and future tenses. 

Reading: We will continue with sequencing stories during our reading block. The spelling list will have long i syllables, and this will go home on Monday. (Please be sure your child practices the list that is circled on his/her paper.)

Social Studies: Students will discuss how producers and consumers work together in an economy. They will also generate examples of goods and services.

Religion: Next week we will celebrate our own mothers as we work on Mother’s Day poems and crafts. We will also celebrate Mary as the mother of our church as we watch May Crowning on Tuesday and attend Mass on Thursday.
