Here's a look at our week:
Reading: This week we added Word Work to our Daily 5 Reading time. This is a time when students practice making words and play games that have to do with words.
Writing: This week we took our best personal story and worked to publish it. We fixed the spelling and then rewrote the story in our best handwriting.
Math: We finished our unit on two-digit addition with our chapter test on Thursday. Next week we will start learning about two-digit subtraction.
Bible: We finished our study of the Old Testament and started learning about the time around Jesus' birth. We learned about Zechariah and how the angel promised him that he would have a son even though he was old. This son would prepare people for Jesus' coming.
Social Studies: We continued learning about South America this week through some games and activities. We played a matching game where we matched the flags to the different countries. We also played a map game where we used North, South, East, and West to try to visit all the countries in South America. The students also got to make their own rain sticks.
