Hello, Room 122 Parents,

Thanks to those April showers, we have some beautiful flowers blooming all throughout Havertown!

In religion this week, we will begin Unit 4/The Faith Prayed/"How do we become what we believe?"  Lesson 16 will be introduced, "What is prayer?" We will learn that we can talk to God and he will always hear our prayers.

We will also learn about the life of  Saint Monica.

In Math, we will continue in Chapter 11, "Addition of Two-Digit Numbers".  We will be adding with both no regrouping and regrouping. Regrouping can be a challenge to understand for some of the students. We will continue to practice this.

In ELA, the students will continue in Module 7, "The Big Outdoors".   In this module, children will examine a variety of environments and natural changes in the world. They also will grow to recognize the importance of recycling and protecting the land.

Children will discover that they can use their observation skills to notice natural changes, such as changes in weather and changes in water as it moves through the water cycle. They will reinforce their knowledge through a variety of text genres, including an engaging song to wrap up the module.

Our spelling skill this week can be difficult. Children learn the long e sound with ease but remembering when to spell a word with an ee versus an ea can be a challenge! Please help your child to review the spelling words throughout the week.

Ours grammar skill this week is pronouns (singular and plural).

In Fundations, the students will continue in Unit 9. We will review what a closed-syllable is and will also learn about vowel teams ai, ay, ee, ea and ey. Some of these vowel teams are being introduced in spelling, as well, so that's great timing for extra practice. 

Enjoy your week,

Mrs. McVeigh
