Grammar
- Study your grammar cards! They should be able to tell you all of the definitions and lists at this point. If not, make sure they work on them so they don't fall behind!
- The kids have been working on recognizing adjectives (that describe NOUNS or PRONOUNS) and adverbs (that describe VERBS). Adverbs can also describe adverbs or other adjectives, but this year we are focusing on those that describe verbs.
- Have your child show you their "Animals, Adjectives, and Adverbs" booklet. Get them to point out the adverbs and the adjectives in each sentence.
- At home this week, I would like you to point out adverbs and adjectives and talk about the difference. You can ask them to come up with an adjective to describe the line you're in at the grocery store, an adverb that describes how your cat is playing, etc. Please integrate this into your week... it will really help them be able to recognize them more easily!
- We also learned about the 4 types of sentences. We used the words "statement", "command", "question", and "exclamation". There are some fancier words that are used that mean the same thing! Check out this video to learn more!
Poetry
- Keep studying your poem!! You should definitely be able to recite the first 2 stanzas. If you cannot, then please work on those! If you can, move on to the next stanza.
Science
- Puzzle vocabulary:
- Fit together the word, picture, and definition (just like we did in class).
- Glue 3 on the front and 3 on the back of two sheets of construction paper.
For the frog 🐸 sheet:Use the word bank to label the frog. Then color your frog like a Tree Frog!
Handwriting
- Look back at the comments that I made in your handwriting books for the last few pages. Use these notes to help you improve!
- Complete pages 52-55 before class on Monday.
History-
- Read the next packet, "Going to School".
- Complete the Words to Know page and bring it to class!
- We will be completing our study of Colonial America in the next few weeks. Next, we will move on to learning about the American Revolution!
Journal-
- This week, your journal entry will go along with your science lessons! Choose one of the following to write about:
- Imagine that you are a frog in a pond. Tell about your life and your home. Use what you learned in science class!
- Describe the different forms of life that is found in a pond. Use what you learned in class!
Math Enrichment
- We will continue to work on the 2s, 3s, 4s, and 5s. I gave each of you a cd to help you learn the songs!
