It's hard to believe that summer is almost over and we are in full swing at Prairieview School. We completed our first week and I am happy to report that we have had a wonderful time getting to know each other. I hope your child shared some of the information they learned about me! I will be blogging every week on Friday and will attach it to a weekly email. Feel free to reply if you have any questions or concerns. Let the games begin!!
Coming up this week:
Spelling: Lesson 1 pretest will be on Monday. Homework will be assigned on Monday and due on Thursday. Final test is on Friday.
English:We will learn about sentences this week, focusing on the four types of sentences: declarative, imperative, interrogative, and exclamatory. We will also be working on our own autobiogra
phical poems.
Reading: We begin our year with Tall Tales. The skills we will specifically target will be identifying story structure and distinguishing between exaggerated and realistic story elements. As a review, we will also use our visualization skills and define unknown words using context clues. This week we will be reading about Bess Call and Paul Bunyon.
Social Studies: After textbooks are assigned, we will have a scavenger hunt! We will then start the book in chapter 4, lesson 1, “The Voyages of Columbus.”
Science: We will learn about various tools scientists use; each student will then draw their own scientist and describe him/her.
