This week in reading we will be focusing on cause and effect and signal words that are used in cause and effect relationships. Some of the signal words and phrases we will be concentrating on are so, since, as a result, and because. The children will be introduced to homophones and we will be doing a few activities related to the subject. We will be focusing on the r-controlled vowel sound, as in the words car and smart.
In math, we will be using counting up as a strategy for making change for amounts up to one dollar. We will also be exploring equal shares by dividing objects and groups of items into equal parts. This will be our introduction to fractions. We will be having a Math Game Day on Wednesday, April 1st. Your child may bring in any math game they are able to teach to a friend. Look for Home Links 8.5, 8.6 and 8.7 to come home this week.
We are going to begin learning and writing about South America and some of the animals that live there.
Our last Junior Achievement lesson is this Friday, March 27th. A huge THANK YOU to Mrs. Emmerich for teaching our class! We had so much fun!
