Reading
We will be reading a nonfiction story that examines the physical characteristics, life cycle and natural habitat of various types of ants.
The comprehension strategies we will concentrate on will be organizing and questioning.
The vocabulary words are antennae, cocoons, colonies, fungus, larvae, tunnels, parasol, and aphids.
Phonics skills will cover words ending with nd, nt, ng, mp, and nk. We will also look at adding endings to nouns (-s, -es, -ies).
Math
Two-dimensional figures can be compared, sorted, and classified according to their geometric properties and can be moved in pace or space. In Chapter 15 we will cover plane figures and spatial space. We will identify, sort, and combine plane figures and learn about symmetry and congruent figures.
