February 26th - March 1st

Recap of what we learned last week:

Bible Study - We learned the story of Jesus Rides to Jerusalem to Save Us from the Gospels and the story of The Last Supper from the Gospels

Bible Words for the week: "Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!" Mark 11:9

Central Truth: Jesus Rides to Jerusalem to Save Us- Words of praise for our God and Savior connect Christian across time and in all paces through worship. 

    The Last Supper - Jesus prepared His followers before His death and resurrection.

Grade-Level Truth: Jesus Rides to Jerusalem to Save Us- Jesus saves us from our sins. We respond to His goodness and grace with praise and worship.

  The Last Supper - In the Lord's Supper, Jesus gives us forgiveness and salvation.

ELA - We continued working on letter teams. Two letters that work together to make a new sound. We reviewed  "ch", "th" and "sh" listening for it at the beginning and ending of words. We even watched some videos to help us practice the sounds. We also reviewed the two sounds that the letter team "th" makes. The soft (not buzzy) sound like in math and the buzzy sound like in this. We learned about the sound the letter teams "ng" and "qu" make. 

We began learning tricky words as well. These words we know we are not able to sound out because they do not follow out letter rules or patterns. We know we can spell the word but then we just need to read the word. This week's tricky words were the and of. We practiced these words with interactive notebook pages and the kids noticed them in our different activities throughout the week. 

We continued practicing how vowels sometimes say their name rather than their vowel sound. We learned that when there is a consonant (or a few consonants) after a vowel it will say its vowel sound - closed door, but if there are no consonants after the vowel, the vowel will say its name - open door.

Students continued practicing that sometimes letter s tries to trick us by borrowing letter z's sound. Students also learned that 's helps us to know ownership and we learned that sometimes an s at the end of the word makes it mean more than one. Students have been working to read words with 4 and 5 letter sounds. We also continued working on our "pinch and tuck" pencil hold.

Math -We wrapped up our unit on comparisons and took our end of unit assessment. 

We started the next unit and began with seeing how we can take a large shape and make it into smaller parts. This way we can talk about how many parts make up a whole shape.
