This week in reading, we will begin Literature Circles. The children will be in small groups reading books on their levels and doing various activities and journaling. I think they will enjoy it! In math, we will study pictographs and bar graphs. First thing every day we do morning math as well. During this math time, the children review old math concepts and are introduced to new math concepts. We go over their daily work together, and then they are tested on the concepts on Friday. This week we will finish our unit on Oklahoma. On Monday, I will give the children a study guide for their Oklahoma Test. Their test will be on Wednesday. They need to manage their time wisely and study for this test some on Monday evening, and some on Tuesday evening. In addition to daily English, we will look at action verbs and adjectives this week. In spelling, we will work with words having consonant diagraphs.
We will be very busy practicing for our 4th grade program all this week as well. It will be a program to remember!!
Another thing we are working on is having some self-control. The children are so bright, creative, hard working, and kind. We just seem to have some difficulty handling freedom at times. (lining up to go somewhere, center time, group projects, etc.) We will be working hard at this very important life skill! Hopefully we will master this skill so that we can do more hands on learning and fun projects in the future.
Please remember to turn in your book page by Wednesday. We will need to begin illustrations.
