Conversation Prompts:What was the big surprise Mr. Alden had for his grandchildren?What does the Japanese flag symbolize?What are the stages in a frog or chicken's life cycle?How many tens in one hundred?Math:
We will start a new unit on addition next week. We will learn several strategies such as count on using a number line, make a fast ten using a ten grid, and using doubles facts to add quickly and efficiently while reviewing basic addition facts up to 20. Don't forget to practice math facts daily with your child using the Rocket Math answer packet.
Literature: Please send your scholar with a copy of the classic, Sarah, Plain, and Tall. This week we will meet Papa, Anna, Caleb, and Lottie. We will hear their memories of Mama and how Papa places an advertisement in the newspaper for a new mother for the children. He receives a response from a woman named Sarah Wheaton from Maine and the family begins exchanging letters with Sarah, but will she come? History:
This week we started learning about Asia and locating it on the map. The first country we learned about was Japan, and we have learned some fun, interesting facts about the country. We will continue to learn about their culture and history this coming week and then start learning about India. Science:Next week, we will learn about the day and night cycle and the seasons. Students will enjoy learning about nature and how Mother Earth changes due to the Earth's tilt and orbit around the Sun.
Grammar:
Students will study the poem, "Seashells," however, this poem is not for memorization nor recitation. It does lend itself to nice imagery which corresponds with our literature unit on Sarah, Plain, and Tall. Students have learned about nouns and pronouns and will expand their understanding of verbs this week as not only action words but also linking words.
