Science/Social
Studies: We
will finish our unit on the Civil War this week.
Language
Arts: We will begin using a nonfiction reader, The War of 1812. The War of 1812
is important historically as it was the first foreign conflict that the United
States faced as a young nation. We will be learning to use a glossary to better
understand the text we are reading. We will also be learning about note-taking.
We will focus on Francis Scott Key and the National Anthem.
Math:
We
will begin our unit on Money and Time. This is a great time to practice coin
recognition with your student and help them learn the value of each coin. We
will be learning to find the total value of a group of money.
We
will have 20 words this week. We will only be tested on the ten words marked *. The spelling
test will be on Friday. The
