Here's what's in store for the week...
CHRISTIAN CHARACTER FORMATION PROJECT
As we wrap up our study on Moses this week, we will read about the crossing of the Red Sea and explore the virtue of courage. Courage is God's power for you to overcome fear. God kept His promise to the Israelites even as they faced danger and troubled times. This reminds us that we too need to trust in our all-powerful God to guide us through difficult times - and to have courage! Ask yourselves how can God's mighty acts of power help you stay strong even when you can't see how to get across?
READING SKILLS and STRATEGIES
This week as students monitor their comprehension they will learn to identify various cause and effect scenarios in their reading. We will talk about WHAT happens in their stories, and WHY those things happen...
SPELLING, PHONICS and GRAMMAR
In
spelling this week we will spell and identify words with "long e"
patterns. Please review what "long e" spelling pattern is being used for
each word and practice using the words in a sentence. In grammar we
will be identifying action verbs. Students will learn that action verbs
tell what someone or something is doing.

Our next unit of study in writing is nonfiction. This week students will learn how to independently plan and write nonfiction books. They will explore published nonfiction books, brainstorm, practice writing strong introductions and organize their writing. I can't wait to see what they can do!
