A Peek at the End of 2010!
SUPERKIDS: Our class is finishing unit 6 and will be focusing on reviewing spelling and memory words. We will also be having an assessment on reading skills, comprehension, and spelling. Please see the information below which outlines the skills covered in our units for this SUPERKIDS booklet.
Religion: This is best time of the school year for us! We are having fun with seasonal stories and projects. We have also been reading the Advent chapter in our book. Thank you all for your articipation in the Advent Angel project! Our class was able to purchase 50.00 in grocery store gift cards to go towards the St. Bernadette Parish Giving Tree. The children were very proud of their efforts when I told them all about their gifts.
Math: In class we are continue to work on addition facts as well as story problems, patterns, symmetry and graphing. We are also enjoying using the "Extended and Challenge" software from Saxon Math on the Smartboard. This provides fun hands on learning for our class.
Science: We are working on our trees unit. We will continue to do so after the New Year.
Social Studies: We are working on a mini unit about Christmas Around the World!
Dear Family,
In Units 5 and 6 of Adventures of the Superkids, your child made a big leap in reading.
We learned that the vowels a, e, i, o, and u can have two different sounds: a short sound (as
in cat or bed) and a long sound (as in go or be). We also learned how to add the endings ing
and ed to words to spell words like jumping and jumped.
The Reader stories “The Monster Under the Bus” and “The Foolish Giant” and the
poem “When I Am a Princess” helped us think about the difference between what is real
and what is make-believe. When you are reading or watching TV with your child, pause
now and then to ask, “Could this really happen, or is this just pretend?”
As you look through the Student Book for Units 5–6, try some of these activities with
your child:
• Ask your child to read aloud The Blob stories on pages 3–5. Have your child tell
you why Tic and Tac were afraid The Blob monster was under the Superkids’ bus.
• Look at page 15 and have your child identify the pictures in each row that have a
long-vowel sound in their name. Remind your child that long vowels say their own
name.
• Turn to page 24 and have your child read aloud the sentences she wrote about
being a princess, knight, or a giant. Discuss which character you would want to
be and why. Make up a story with your child about the characters you each chose
to be.
• Ask your child to describe the character she made up for a story she wrote. Then
think of a family member or close friend and brainstorm with your child words that
describe the person. Have your child draw a picture and write a sentence or two
about the real, live “character.”
