Queridos Padres,

We’ll continue learning about humility and putting others first this week. It has been fun to watch the kids let others go ahead of themselves and encourage others at school. We will continue discussing this in Bible class and devotions throughout the week and will ultimately point to Jesus- the most humble servant of all!

Thanks for all your prayers for our classroom! 

Blessings,

Maestra Durán


This Week:
Bible Memory Verse: Mateo 4:23 D ue Date: January 31
Bible: Reporters from the Gazette of Galilee successfully launched their newspaper! Feel free to congratulate them through Seesaw. I hope you can enjoy it as much as I do. This week we are going to learn how Jesus teaches us through parables.
Literature Selection: La historia de Ruby Bridges
Phonics: grammatical morphemes: los morfemas flexivos (verbos irregulares) Students will understand that all verbs do not follow the same pattern when they are conjugated. Students will identify irregular present and past tense verbs based on stem changes and match the conjugated forms with the infinitive.
Word Wall Words: hizo, dije, mover, tratar, tener 
Poem: E n el puerto.
Reading: This week we will focus on how comprehension links to every other component of reading (accuracy, fluency, expanding vocabulary). Then we will practice using suffixes and roots of words to find the meaning of new words. In shared reading, we’ll talk about justice and empathy through the story of Ruby Bridges.
Writing: We’ll learn more about using complete sentences and choosing juicy words instead of boring words. We’ll even throw some boring words away this week (like “said” and “happy”) and will use more interesting words to replace them.
Math: They are explaining how to subtract! Please watch him/her in Seesaw.This week we will continue practicing two-digit numbers by making change. We will also practice adding and subtracting with word problems. Thanks for all your help at home!
Science: We are having fun studying What does it matter? Students are working cooperatively in their groups investigating and working hard on their presentations. This week we will have a great time investigating, Can all matter be returned to its original state after being heated? And to close with a flourish we will perform a fun experiment to discover the answer to the question Can small pieces be used to assemble (construct) something bigger? What makes up stuff?
