Mrs. Green's Class  |
 Math lessons will be completed everyday, with each student working at their own pace. We will also be working on math writing which will help us prepare for the ISAT test. If there is time throughout the week, we will try to utilize the computers to help reinforce our skills. |
 Reading - We will have daily phonics practice on the concepts learned during each lesson. There are also worksheets that we will do in class or as homework that work on specific skills that good readers should know. In addition to the specific skills taught in class, the students will also have the opportunity to work on a new computer program. This program is designed to help each student individually on specific skills that they should know and reinforce skills that they are having difficulty with. Finally, students are expected to read their story to an adult every night. |
 Language - We will have a daily lesson to work on during class. Each lesson will build upon language skills that have previously been taught. We will focus on building vocabulary, language, and writing skills. These lessons will help us toward our individual goals and help us maintain the skills that we currently have. |
 Spelling - We will be working on spelling words that include sight words as well as word family words. The lessons that are covered are also covered in reading, so there is a lot of exposure. This will help to ensure success in spelling this year. We will have 12 to 15 words per week. Please ask your child for a list every Monday. |
Social Studies - We will be working on several different types of social studies aspects this year. We will also be learning about our 50 states and capitals while studying each region. Current events as well as historical events will be discussed. In addition to these concepts, students will also get to use maps in order to develop a deeper understanding of maps and how they are used. |
 Science - We will be working on Life, Earth and Physical science this year. There are three units that we are going to explore using our books, worksheets, and classroom discussions. During each chapter, we will explore new vocabulary, learn new concepts, and hopefully, do a hands-on activity to help reinforce what we have learned. Finally, we may also try to complete some units that are not covered in the book. |
