This week:
READING
This week we will read expository/non-fiction books. Writers of expository books are expert in an area and therefore they write the expository texts to teach us about that subject. We will learn that the purpose of reading expository books is to get information. We might have questions before reading a non-fiction book, or questions during reading the non-fiction book, or even after reading it. These questions will help us to read more and find out more. We will learn about the features of non-fiction such as: table of contents, index, glossary, real photos, labels, and captions.
WRITING
We will continue revising our stories for one more week. Ask your child what revising is and what is the purpose of revising. They should be able to explain it to you. We are learning to reread our stories carefully a couple of times to make sure that our stories make sense. In the process, we are learning to add some more words or take off a few that are not needed. We are checking for sight words misspelling, neat writing and correct punctuation. Some of us are even adding dialogues in quotation marks to make our stories more interesting. I am so proud of my young writers!
This week we will learn to tell time. We will learn to tell time to the hour using a digital and an analog clock. We will learn about the hands, the hour hand (the short hand), and the minute hand(the long hand) and how they move: The minute hand makes one full turn while the hour hand moves slowly from one numeral to another. Later on in the year, we will learn to tell the time in half-hour.
SOCIAL STUDIES
This week we will learn about a few historical figures such as Alexander graham Bell, Thomas Edison, Garrett Morgan, and Richards Allen who influenced our nation by their individualism and inventiveness. We will learn about their inventions and the contributions that these important people made to our lives.
