Grammar: We will be learning about reflexive pronouns. Reflexive pronouns are words ending in -self or -selves that are used when the subject and the object of a sentence are the same (e.g., I believe in myself). ... The nine English reflexive pronouns are myself, yourself, himself, herself, oneself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, and themselves.
Phonics: This week we will learn the magic E rule states when the letter “e” sits at the end of the word, it is usually silent and the “magical” E tells the first vowel or the preceding vowel to say its name or long sound. Red words for the week are: there, their, people, high. Please practice red words at home. Red words do not follow learned patterns or rules. Therefore it is important to memorize how to spell them. We do not sound these words out. We identify them by letter names. Example: was w-a-s not /w/ /u/ /z/. Practice at home writing the words in fun ways, tracing them, or even jumping them out.
*Phonics assessments are on Thursday. New phonics rule introduced Friday.
Reading: We will be learning about Author's Point. The author's point is what the author is trying to prove in the text.
Writing: The students will work on informational writing this 9 weeks. Informational writing is a type of nonfiction writing that conveys information about something, which means it is factual. Many examples of informational writing can be found in newspapers, almanacs, and reference books. ... Informational text is often organized so the reader can easily and quickly find information.
Math: We will focus on 1 and 2 step word problems this week. We will use our strategies we have learned thus far and the steps to word problems.
*Timed addition and subtraction test are normally given on Wednesdays.
Social Studies: This week will be learning about Tomochichi and why he is an important figure in Georgia's history. Tomochichi was the head chief of the Yamacraw Indians beginning in 1728. He is most notable in Georgia's history for helping the English establish a settlement in Savannah, and for his contributions to the success of Georgia's colony.
