Phonics will cover the vowel pairs ee, ea, and the syllable -tion and -ture.
The Grammar lessons will cover nouns that have a different spelling when they are plurals.
Science
We have been learning about earthworms in science. The children have observed worms on their desks. They can locate the saddle, segments, bristles, head and tail on a worm. Some of the children were able to see the worm's mouth. All of the children saw egg sacs. We put together a wormbin and will keep the worms in our room until spring. The children will feed the worms the left overs from their snacks; banana peels, apple cores, a grape or two, and strawberry tops. Worms eat any organic material.
Math
We finished our short chapter on probability and will begin money on Tuesday. The children brought their test home on Thursday. They did well.
If you have not sent coins in for your child please do so as soon as possible.
