The Hello Amazing Parents!!
Next week we will take our online iReady assessment in reading and math. This is an important assessment which our staff looks at for placement, ability grouping, student data, and intervention. Please make sure your child has plenty of sleep, breakfast, and is prepared for school each day so they can be successful and do their absolute best each and every day.
Don't forget we have some very important theme and STEM days coming up that we need supplies for. Here is the signup:
Curriculum:
Writing & Reading: Students will do a major opinion writing about their book and characters they have been reading from their book series. The students are really getting to know their characters and are enjoying sharing what they have learned while reading. We finished our wonderful read aloud book: The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. The students loved it. I am going to get another book from this same author because she is so good! They will get to read my favorite, Because of Winn Dixie in 3rd grade. They will take a major reading assessment this week.
Grammar and Word Works: We will be reviewing red words and phonics skills until the end of the year. We will be reviewing contractions, complex sentences, and quotation marks.
Science-The students are continuing to work on their life cycle projects in STEM lab. You will be able to see these during Spring Showcase. We will begin our next unit: Forces in Motion on Monday. This is a fun unit and they will build a roller coaster.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Laura
