I hope you had a wonderful weekend. It was an absolutely perfect Mother’s Day. Friday there will be no school for the kids while the teachers plan for next year. Enjoy the long weekend.
This week in phonics we will work on homonyms and review antonyms and synonyms. The test on adverbs will be tomorrow. The test will be on adverbs and will include the following: being able to pick out the adverb in a sentence; being able to tell what question the adverb answers – when, where, or how; how to write a book title correctly – capitalization and underlining; using the suffixes – ful and less; being able to add adverbs to a sentence correctly. Part II will be on Wednesday and will be short answers. The story this week in reading is Stone Soup (a play) by The Children’s Television Workshop.
In Math we are learning that multiplication is just a faster way to do addition and that arrays are a great way to picture multiplication problems. Over the summer, it might not be a bad idea to start memorizing the multiplication facts with your child to get a jump start on third grade. (Can you believe I just said “third grade”?) In social studies we will discuss landmarks and artifacts. In religion we will discuss the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Have a great week.
