Week of Feb. 25

     In religion this week we will be continuing to discuss Lent.  We will talk about what we can do during Lent in order to grow closer to Jesus.

     For Superkids this week, students will be learning about changing 'y' to an 'i' and then adding the ending.  We will also read the next story in our reader called "The Wish" and students will draw and write about their own wishes.  This week we will also talk about idioms like "It is raining cats and dogs!" 

     Math this week is going to focus mainly on counting by 10's from any number, adding 10 to a number, comparing and ordering numbers, and counting by 100's.  Students will once again be able to use the interactive hundreds chart on our SMARTboard as we go through this week's lessons.  We will have a test on Tuesday, Feb. 26. 

     In Science we will be talking more about weather and the seasons this week.  We will be looking more at the water cycle, as well as why we have the seasons.  Students will do an interactive activity involving why we have seasons using the SMARTboard.

     We will also be starting our next inquiry unit this week on Communities.  We will be discussing neighborhoods and communities, drawing neighborhoods, using Google Earth to look at our community, and using lots of books to find out about different kinds of communities and community helpers.
