Writing and Grammar: We will review our capitalization and punctuation rules. We will also start learning our Question & Answer Flow, identifying the subject noun and verb in simple sentences.

Poetry: We will be practicing stanza two from Something Told the Wild Geese.

Math: We are making our way through renaming! It will be very important for your child to take their time with this portion of the unit. We encourage making those number charts on the side to help with larger equations, as well as number bonds for the word problems. We are in this together!

History: Your children will learn all about South America this week. We will talk about Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia. You can ask them to tell you the 4 countries that are part of the southern cone (Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Argentina).

Science: We will become ornithologists this week! Ask your child to tell you the four stages of a chicken's life cycle.

With Grateful Hearts,

Mrs. Dombrowski & Miss Monk
