We will have a practice test on Thursdays and a retake for the ones that need it on Fridays.

Reading- Story of the week: The Shopping List. We are still working on reading fluently and accurately.
We are also still working on using parts of known words and using known parts, as well as spelling patterns, to help us during reading. This is where I look for transfer knowledge from spelling.

Writing-We are reading from the New Testament. We are learning about Jesus’ life as he began teaching. This week, we will be working on writing longer sentences to include how, when, and where.

Math- We will have a math test over Chapter 11 on Tuesday, February 7. We will then start a unit on fractions.

Religion- We will learn how we share God’s love with others.
Social Studies We will start a new unit called “The Marketplace”. We will learn about goods and services, jobs, etc.
