The week of 12/6/21:

ELA

This week students will explore Lesson 7. The anchor text for this week will be the realistic fiction text The Ugly Vegetables. Our phonics and spelling lessons for the week will focus on double consonants and ck. In grammar we will focus on proper nouns. Our comprehension skill will be “drawing conclusions.” On Friday, Dec. 10th we have our regularly scheduled Spelling test, as well as Phonics and Grammar tests. 

MATH

In Math, we have completed Chapter 4: Two Digit Addition. Our test will be on Tuesday, December 7th. We will then begin Chapter 5, which focuses on various two-digit subtraction strategies. This week students use models to subtract two digit numbers with and without regrouping.

SOCIAL STUDIES

We will continue Chapter 2 in our Social Studies text. Students will use their map skills to create a town. Students will also learn why people migrate from one place to another. We will have our Chapter 2 Social Studies test next week. Students will receive a study guide this week.

RELIGION

We will continue to learn about Advent, focusing on prayer and good deeds. We will learn about the Advent tradition of the Jesse tree. We will begin creating our own Jesse trees in school. We will also begin learning about the sacrament of Reconciliation, utilizing our new Reconciliation book (which will be given to the children in school).
