Week of April 30 - May 4

Dear Parents,


What a grand, productive week!  All last week we reviewed nouns, verbs, and adjectives and did an art project each day reinforcing the concepts.  We finished our math chapter on addition and took our test on Friday. We also read, with much individual success, our first "short i" phonics book, Six Kids. I am so impressed with how well each scholar is reading and how easy it comes to everyone. Your work at home is showing in the classroom - please keep up the one-on-one time with your child. Bravo!


This week we are going to learn about the following:


Language Arts:  We will (re)read in a round-robin fashion our second "short i" book in our phonics series, Jim Wins.  We will also be learning about pronouns.


Math:  We are starting our FINAL math chapter, Chapter 12: Subtraction.  Our chapter test will be next week.


Phonics:  Our spelling words involve six "short i" words and review four of our sight words from the Dolch List.


Science:  This week we will start to plant in our garden the lettuce and corn that we've been growing in the window sill of our classroom. Accordingly, we will be learning about the water cycle to reinforce the life cycle of our plants. Once everything is planted, please come take a look at our beautiful garden!




If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please email me or add a comment below. Feel free to stop by the classroom or talk to Ms. Diane when you are at school.  If you haven't already done so, please "like" Town & Country Farm School's Facebook page.

Have a great week,

Mrs. Stuhr
