This Week in Primary A:

Language Arts -

We are continuing our Word Study with a closer look at synonyms and antonyms. Encourage your student to use thoughtful word choice in his or her own writing - to try out new and more exciting words instead of using the same old ones all the time.

In Reading Groups, students continue to work on necessary individual skills and building comprehension skills.

On Tuesday, your student will get a new word sort. This week, there will be a spelling assignment to complete. See the handout in your child's Homework Folder.

In Writing, we will learn about the proper format for letters and practice writing personal letters.


Science -

Today, we learned about the Muscular System and explored the role of our muscles and how muscles work. We learned about the 3 types of muscle: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle. On Wednesday, we will learn about the Circulatory System.


Science B -

Today, we learned about the effect our inner ears have on our body's balance and how to care for our ears so that we don't damage them. We also learned about Alexander Graham Bell and his important invention. On Wednesday, we will be constructing a model of the ear using various materials. Next week, we will have our Eye and Ear test. You will need to know the parts of each and how it works. Study your Body Dictionary, your models, and any handouts you have gotten in class.
