Week Beginning June 12th

Dear Parents,

In Language Arts,  we have been focusing on analyzing characters: what traits the characters have with evidence from the text and how the character interacts with other characters.  We have also been focusing on identifying nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs in sentences.

In Math, we have finished up with recognizing money (both coins and notes), counting money, adding money and finding change.  We have now moved on to fractions. We have talked about the role of the numerator and denominator.  We have written out and drawn fractions.  They are now working on finding a fraction of an amount.

Religion

We have begun the program, I Am A Gift From God. Please discusses and sign pages 1, 2 and 3 in their books. We have talked about taking care of our bodies. We also discussed that body parts that are covered by bathing suits and our mouths are considered private parts. It is important that students know the proper names for these proper parts. I will not be teaching them these terms in class, but it would be very helpful if you went over the correct terms with them at home.  We have also talked about the 5 steps they can take if they are in a situation that is inappropriate, unsafe or uncomfortable.
