Multi-syllable Words
Words are made up of syllables. A syllable is a unit of
pronunciation within a word. Each syllable has one vowel sound. Understanding syllables helps us to read, spell,
and write longer words.
High Frequency Words: until, second, does

Writing
Descriptive writing allows the reader to visualize the
person, place, or object being described. The writers
job in descriptive writing is to create a clear picture in
the readers mind.

Math
We are practicing reading analog clocks to the nearest
five minutes and writing the time in words and digits.
We are learning to use words such as: half past, quarter
past, quarter til, and oclock.

Science
We are moving into our last science unit of 1st trimester. We will be studying plants over the next couple
of weeks before moving into Social Studies.

Glue Sticks
Many of the kids are already
running low on glue sticks. My
back-up supply for them is
quickly dwindling as well. Check
with your kiddo and see if he/
she needs new glue sticks.
