Week beginning May 15th

Sorry for my hiatus from the blog. I was having trouble singing in and just got it worked out.

The month of April was devoted to writing the stories that the children are getting published.  It was a lot of hard work.  The books are going to be wonderful!

In Language Arts we have continued to work on reading comprehension and have begun practicing summarizing.  The class is using this flow chart to complete the summary: Somebody (who is the main character?), Wanted (What did the character want?), But (What was the problem?), So (How was the character solved), Then(What was the resolution to the problem?).

In math we have been working on money, specifically pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters.  We have begun looking at menus and ordering items (adding).  We will continue ordering next week being finding change.

In Religion we have been focusing on the Trinity.  We compared the trinity to the parts of the apple (peal, flesh, core).  They all have different roles but are part of the same apple.  We then explored the characteristics of God the Father and God the Son (we also looked at the incarnation of Jesus and how he is both divine and human).  We will continue next week with who is the Holy Spirit and his role in our life.

In science, we have begun researching our animals.  We will be creating a food chain and completing a research report on their animal.

Have a wonderful long weekend!
