Your sweethearts have been working hard on a couple of things for you this week. Click play and turn up the volume to see their photostory. Then be on the lookout for something that will come home today! I hope you have a marvelous Mother's Day!
Writing:
We will work on Veggie Tales this week! That means we will choose a vegetable and give it human-like characteristics and a problem to solve. On Monday your child will bring home a plan and ask you to help them provide their supplies, including a real vegetable!
Reading:
Our end of year reading assessments are over and I'm proud of everyone's reading! This week we get to focus on reader's theater which is always a hit! We will use plays such as A Wild Day and Frog and Toad to study theater. We will continue to review reading skills learned this year with our "Reading A-Z" booklets.
Spelling:
Your child will receive their words to practice at home on Monday and we will check for understanding on Friday.
Math:
We will revisit comparing fractions,equivalent fractions, and rounding numbers this week. We'll also spend some time with a few "Springy Stations" to review other math skills we've learned this year. Math homework will come home on Tuesday and should be returned on Wednesday as usual.
Social Studies:
We are looking at how communities change with transportation, communication, and recreation. We will work on interviewing someone to gain more information as a homework assignment. This will come home on May 20th and be due on Tuesday, May 21st. If you have an "old-fashioned" game like (jacks, hopscotch, checkers, etc.) that we can use to demonstrate the difference in gaming from the past and present please send it our way.
