In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Cologne Academy students will be assembling hygiene kits for an area teen shelter on Monday, January 16, 2017.
-----------
Here is what your child will be doing academically in the 20th week of school:
Math: We are going to be reviewing math skills in preparation for the second math interim.
IXL: If you would like to use IXL at home, continue with these sections for practice this week:
- Counting and Number Patterns (Section A)
- Addition (Section B & C)
- Subtraction (Section D, E, F)
- Mixed Operations (Section J)
- Recognizing Patterns (section R)
- Place Value (section M)
Phonics: Students will be working with the Vowel Teams for the sound of "long i". Words like light, mind, cry, pie.
Core Knowledge: Our CK unit is Early Civilizations. This unit will introduce the students to the fundamental features of the Maya, Aztec, and Inca including farming, the establishment of cities and government, as well as religion.
IRA: Jan Brett is our author this month with beautiful stories; The Three Snow Bears and Hedgie's Suprise, and many more. Describe characters, settings, and major events in a story, using key details.
Writing: We are still working on our informative writing unit. Your child will be reading non-fiction books and writing a report style writing piece. Now they will be writing one, with support, but on their own. They are amazing!
January Core Virtue: Courage
As always, if you have any questions please email your child's classroom teacher.
