Next Week's Learning
Reading
- Next week, we will start our next genre study. The genre study will be over poetry.
- We will be looking at the characteristics of poetry.
- Written in lines instead of paragraphs
- Expresses the poet’s thoughts or feelings using rich language
- May use rhymes or strong rhythm
- Often written in groups of lines called stanzas
- Poetry is a great way to practice fluency also. It will be fun to see the student's expression come out as they are reading.
- We started Unit 4 this week. This unit covers time, measurement and place value.
- This week, we worked on telling time. Please practice this with students. We practiced telling time to the nearest 5 minutes and also using A.M. and P.M. when telling time.
- Next week, we will focus on place value and representing numbers using place value blocks. We will also be learning about expanded notation which is representing a number as an addition sentence (54 = 50 + 4).
Social Studies
- We will continue to study colonial times. The students will be creating a Colonial Journal and pretending they are writing as a child during colonial times.
- We will be having Colonial Day on December 12. We will send home additional information closer to the date. This will be in the morning and we will be asking for volunteers to help and some supplies to be donated. Be on the look out for information in the coming weeks!
Grammar
- We will continue learning about nouns next week. They will be learning about possessive nouns next week and how to use apostrophes.
- A common misconception is that any time they add an "s" to a word, they put an apostrophe with it, so we will be discussing when and where to use apostrophes with words.
Fundations
- We will be starting Unit 6 in Fundations next week. This unit covers CVCe words so we will be introducing the long vowel sounds. We will be discussing how you don't hear the "e," but that it makes the vowel a long vowel, so it says its name.
- Our trick words will be only, house, move, who, how.
Have a fabulous weekend!
DR WILLIAMS CURED 7 YEARS AUTISM
ReplyDeleteI am sharing this testimony for my daughter who suffered autism for 7 years. I am doing this, because I was her mother and caregiver during her dark days and am very happy to share it so that others can be helped through DR WILLIAMS HERBAL MEDICINE. It was a tough a battle for her; I was not actually the one who hard autism, but bearing the burden makes me understand what parents whose children and love with autism go through.
Lesia now 19 and was diagnosed with autism at the age of twelve, for seven years, she fought against her diagnosis. I must admit it was never easy for us as a family; we had to constantly watch her, and answer questions that we couldn’t explain. On several occasions, she asked if she will ever stop having speech delay and get well like her school mates and be the best swimmer she dreamt of becoming. She was a very happy child; and had a ‘normal’ childhood and there was no suggestion that she would later on develop autism.
She refused to accept defeat and fought autism. She religiously kept to her medications in spite of their side effects. We all wanted a cure, so that she can chase her dream and live a normal life like every other child. But the more she takes these medications, the more her school grade drop. She couldn’t concentrate and we noticed that her memory was being severely adversely affected. Each time we went back to the hospital, her medicines were changed to a different one. Seems like, each change of drug brings about change in side effects. After about 6 years on Abilify , Geodon , and other medicines, it seemed the autism started to increase in frequency. I had to make effort to reduce her medicines with plans to eventually stop it all. We found an alternative treatment in homeopathy, which was better than her English drugs. Gradually, I reduced her drugs, and her autism were no longer as frequent as it was as when she was on conventional drugs.
With our little breakthrough with homeopathy treatment, we made further search for natural cure. Fortunately we saw testimonies about herbal medicines which cure autism. We saw a lot of claims though, contacted them and didn’t get a useful reply. Lucky for us, we finally got a reply from Doctor Williams, he directed us to his blog where we saw a lot of information about his herbal medicine . Without further delay I made a purchase for her, I switched her over to it. We had great breakthrough, that in 3 weeks, her autism reduced. After 1 months as Doctor Williams promised , all autism symptoms stopped. It was like a miracle for us. since all this days now Lesia became autism free. Her story is quite lengthy, I hope it also help someone out there.for more information you can email Dr Williams on drwilliams098675@gmail.com
