Math

The class has started working on the operation of division. Students have identified multiplication and division fact families. Students have also been working on the divisors of 2, 3, 4, and 5. Any additional practice at home would be beneficial for all students.

Reading/Language Arts

The class is reading a play called The Saga of Pecos Bill.  In this drama, Bill, the youngest of eighteen children of a Texas pioneer, was lost in crossing the Pecos River and was brought up by coyotes. He considered himself a coyote until a cowboy convinced him of his true identity. Comprehension skills covered included ideas and support, visualizing, and elements of drama. Students worked on decoding words with consonant digraphs. Spelling words focused on the /ch/ sound. The class also worked on the prefixes of in- and im- as the vocabulary skill.

Science

The class continues to learn about motion. Students have learned about frame of reference, speed, and direction.
