Religion This year the students will be studying about God’s creation and his love for our everything. The students will learn one prayer each quarter. They are “Angel of God”, “Hail Mary”, “Our Father” and “Glory Be.” The students will have song practice every Tuesday to learn the songs we sing in Mass on Wednesday. Every Wednesday we will be attending the K-4 Mass and on Thursday we will attend the all school Mass with our 7th grade buddies.
Math In Math we will work on number concepts, patterns, sorting, collecting and analyzing data, money and towards the end of the year we begin addition and subtraction. We use several hands on tools to teach math. The students will also have a math journal where they will work on their critical thinking skills.
Reading In reading we will work on our phonemic awareness skills (manipulations of sounds) and phonics (putting sounds together). We learn around 45 sight words. We study the concepts of print, decoding skills, comprehension skills, genres, parts of story and making connections to what we read. We do this through whole group reading, guided reading and literacy centers.
Writing These year the students will learn how to write and share stories about themselves. We will also teach the students to form their letters correctly using the Handwriting Without Tears program.
Unit Studies This is a 2 week cross curricula study on a theme related to the time of year. We read stories, gather data, create projects and write about the topic being studied.
