Unit 1 Week 3 Preview

In this week's instruction we focus on  how we will change and how we have changed as we grow. If your child would like to bring in a photo showing themselves as a baby, we could display these and guess who they grew into. We will also explore how animals change as they grow. We will draw conclusions about animals that change greatly and those that may only change in size as they mature. We will analyze text for character, setting, and plot. We will focus on spelling patterns: ,-in, -it, -iss. Our oral vocabulary words will be change, adult, learn, imitate, and practice. Our reading sight words will be be, ride, and run. In grammar we will distinguish between statements and questions. We will continue writing our All About Me books and begin to work on our narrative piece to wrap up this unit's writing task.

In Social Studies, we will discuss the difference between rights and responsibilities and what they mean for United States citizenship (HSS 1.1).

In P.E. we will toss and catch.

Last week in Science we generated a list of properties for various solids that we observed. This week we will decide which of those properties are most useful for various tasks.

In Math we will continue with topic 4 and building our understanding of subtraction and its relation to addition.

In Health we will discuss why it is important to keep our bodies healthy. We will discuss trustworthiness, caring, and responsibility.
