First Nine Weeks, Week 6

Reading: We are continuing to work on decoding skills as well as reading signposts.  Our focus this week will be theme as we discuss the signpost "Words of the Wiser."

Language: We are finishing up cursive letters, which means students should be writing more and more in cursive.  Challenge your child to write in cursive at home whenever possible.  We will also working on singular and plural possessives (students' vs student's).

Math: The students are enjoying the addition and subtraction menu.  We have been talking about different strategies for addition and will soon be discussing strategies for subtraction.  We will also be investigating palindromes (numbers and words that are the same forward and backward) as we learn about how there are patterns everywhere in numbers!

Alabama History: We are continuing our focus on Alabama geography.  This week we will continue to discuss Alabama's five main regions as well as Alabama's climate and natural resources.

Science: Our study of sound begins this week!  Students will be investigating sound discrimination as they learn about different properties of sound.
