VOLUME 6
Memory Verse: Call out to me when trouble comes. I will save you. And you will honor me. Psalm 50:15

This Week: This week, we will be focusing on the story of Moses. We will discuss how God used Moses to lead the Israelites to the Promised Land. Students will also order the events leading up to the Exodus and discuss the ten plagues.

Reading groups continue to help students become fluent in their Jack and Jilly readers! This week, we will practice our spelling words using a variety of manipulatives. Students will also be introduced to new literacy activities that they will work on independently. In Writer's Workshop, I am excited to begin a fun unit on adjectives and similes. Students will use several graphic organizers to describe their experience eating Pop Rocks candy in class!

In Math, we will be working on doubles fats with sums to 18. Students will also practice place value using unifix cubes. In Science, we will continue exploring the wonderful world of Weather! Students will determine the three types of clouds and graph their favorite. We will also take a closer look at hurricanes and the importance of disaster safety.
