We will demonstrate and apply spelling knowledge by learning the final stable syllable.  A final stable syllable is part of a word that always comes at the end of the word.  It is always stable or reliable in its pronunciation and spelling.              (Ex. can -dle, gig -gle)

Our words this week are:

1. little
2. circle
3. cycle
4. rubble
5. puddle
6. ruffle
7. sparkle
8. title
9. purple
10. candle
11. people*

Reading

This week we will learn and read about the life cycle of a plant and identify the basic needs of a plant.  We will also observe and compare how the physical characteristics of plants help them meet their basic needs such as stems carry water throughout the plant.

 

Math

We will compose 3D shapes with given properties or attributes, learning how many faces (flat surfaces), edges and vertices (corners) each one has.

 

Reminders

April 29th: Field Day- 12:20-2:20 (I will have a parent sign out sheet if you would like to take your child home after field day.  Please make sure you sign the sheet, that will be with me, by your child’s name so that I know your child is with you at the end of the day.)

We are learning that adaptation is anything that helps an animal or plant survive in its habitat whether through camouflage, migration, hibernation, the size of the leaf or how deep the root is in the ground as well as being able to hold water for long periods of time.

 

Math

We will create 2D shapes based on given attributes, including number of sides and vertices.  We will also classify and sort polygons with 12 or fewer sides according to attributes.  A polygon is a shape with at least 3 or more sides, each side has to be straight (no curves) with vertices and be a closed figure.
