Earth/Space Unit Lesson 1 Study Guide

• Earth’s rotation causes day and night.
• When it is daytime on one side of the Earth it is nighttime on the other side.
• When the sun is high in the sky, shadows are short.
• Another way to say that Earth spins is that it rotates.
• Earth is a planet that is always spinning.  It never stops.
• Shadows on the ground change length as Earth rotates.
• It takes Earth all day and all night to rotate or spin around one full time.

There are 10 questions on the test.  If you know and understand the above material, you will be able to answer all of the questions on the test.

An order form for laundry soap and trash bags went home on Friday.  The order forms were sent home with the oldest child in the family.  

Parent's Day will be Thursday, February 2nd.  Parents or someone special will have the opportunity to attend Mass, go to the book fair, visit classrooms, and enjoy a small snack.  Exact times and details should be coming home soon.

February 8th will be our next Early Release Day.  Students will be dismissed at 2:47 pm. It will also be a Spirit Wear Day.  Students may wear St. Michael spirit wear and uniform bottoms.

Please make sure your child is dressed for the weather when he/she comes to school each day.  We do go outside for recess as long as the temperature is 32 degrees or above.  

We have two students with allergies in our classroom.  Please do not send any snacks with your child that contain peanuts, tree nuts, or peanut butter. 

Spelling: Your child will take a written spelling test on Friday.  Please help your child practice his/her spelling words each night. 
This week's words are: low, boat, no, row, oat, toe, over, more

Phonics: This week we will work on words with the long o sound spelled with an "o", "oe", ow, or "oa".  We will focus on decoding and writing words with this sound.

Reading: This week's high frequency words are: find, food, more, over, start, warm. Please help your child practice reading and writing these words at home.  This week we will be reading "Vulture View".  The story can be found on pages 60-89 in your child's reading book. We will be working on identifying the main idea and key details.  The reading book will come home on Tuesday and Thursday.  We will have a reading test on Friday.

Vocabulary: search - to try to find something by looking for it
                    seek - to hunt or look for something

Writing: We will be working with the verbs go, went, do, and did.  We will also finish writing a story about a snowman.  Our goal is to have our stories hanging in the hallway when everyone comes to visit on Parent's Day.

Math: We will continue working on our next chapter, which focuses on place value of numbers up to 120.  This week we will focus on counting by 1's, 2's, 5's and 10's from any number.

Religion: We will do our Circle of Grace lessons.  Look for a letter in your child's Monday folder explaining this program, which the Archdiocese of Indianapolis implemented several years ago.

Science: We will continue working on a unit that focuses on Earth and space science.  We will have a short test over lesson 1 on Tuesday.  Look for a study guide in Monday's folder.  We will then begin lesson 2.
