Foundational Skills: We will learn the spelling rule for adding the suffixes -ed and -ing to root words. (explanation of the doubling rule is under the list of spelling words).

It’s important to note that students do not need to be fluent in their multiplication facts at this point to be successful with this content. They are encouraged to use resources like multiplication tables and classroom posters that show the multiples of each number up to 12. Your child also has access to a multiplication table in their Simple Solutions book that they can use during homework or studying. They do not need to recall their facts on their own yet — please encourage them to use these resources so they can practice more efficiently and focus on understanding the strategies.

In Social Studies this week, the students will be reading the story, The New Land by Marilynn Reynolds. This book is available on Epic. The students will be able to describe why people move and settle in new areas, explain how human settlement can impact both settlers and existing groups of people, and compare the challenges faced by settlers with how people adapt to new environments today. After reading the story a couple of times, students will be writing a journal entry describing their family's move, challenges, and feelings.
We will continue Chapter 3: God's Gift of Love. This chapter will help students:
understand that God is the Creator of all things-visible and invisible.

God's Creation
Several schools collect food for low-income students who might not otherwise have food over the weekends. The program is called Blessings in a Backpack. There is a link below that you and your student(s) can sign up for. The volunteers simply walk around to each item putting it in a bag. One location is Alex R. Kennedy Elementary which is close to Ascension.
