It will be a shorter week this week because of our celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., but we will still have lots to accomplish!
Reading: We are continuing to read Number the Stars and the children are becoming very eager to see how the story will end. They have become very passionate about this event in history and the bravery that Annemarie and her family are showing in the face of the German soldiers. This week, we will focus on contrasting and comparing to see similarities and differences in characters and settings. Our vocabulary words this week are: surge, recurring, gleamed, condescending, linger, rummaging, pleading, protruding, and commotion.
Spelling: The focus this week is on words that have k, ng and kw sounds.
Language: This week, the students will be learning about adverbs; specifically what they are, what they do, and how they can improve our sentences.
Math: We will continue to look at strategies for solving division problems this week as we focus on the long division strategies that you were probably taught growing up. The children will then use these strategies as they work through the division menu that we will be working on this week.
Science: On Wednesday, the children will present the information that they learned about the specific technology that they have researched having to do with space exploration. Have your child share their presentation on Google Drive with you! We will also look more closely at the advances made possible because of space exploration and how Alabama has played a role in some of those advances.
Alabama History: We will wrap up our study of how Alabama became a state and discuss Alabama's moving capital.
