Unit 1 Week 5 Preview

We close out the unit discussing what we like to do with our friends and what we can accomplish with teamwork. Our oral vocabulary words are challenging, charity, admire, focus, offer. Our sight words are help, now, use, very. We will develop our skill of identifying the author's purpose to develop the comprehension strategy of analyzing text structure. We will analyze texts where authors use description to give information. We will focus on final consonant blends (eg. -nk, -nt, -sk, -st, etc.) for decoding, and spelling.

For Social Science we will discuss the significance of Independence Day (HSS 1.3.2) and some national iconic symbols (HSS 1.3.3) (tested).

In Science we will begin to look at the properties of liquids (tested) and how they differ from those of solids. We will learn and use vocabulary concepts such to describe liquids such as opaque, transparent, translucent, and viscous.

In math we will continue with topic 6 and parts of 12.

In P.E. we will be using teamwork to accomplish various goals.
