Dear Amazing Parents,
We have one more week before we begin our STEM and theme activities. This week will have our ice cream party for everyone students passing their addition and subtraction timed fact fluency. We will begin one of our themed units early if students can earn this privilege. We still have a few open slots if you would like to bring in anything: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c084daead2ea3f58-endofyear1
Dont forget to check lost and found when you drop off your child in the morning or at the end of the day. Our lost and found is overflowing!
Curriculum:
Writing & Reading: Students finished their last major writing assignment with opinion writing. They wrote about their favorite book and character, giving their opinion about each. They have been uploading these in SeeSaw and making posters for a gallery walk the students will have during reading next week. The students read with their Book Buddies on Friday and will share from their book series next week.
Grammar & Word Work: We will review everything we have learned so far in grammar. In word work: Phonics skill /ew/ & /eu/: drew, threw, neutral, flew, mildew, grew. We will be reviewing all the red words they have learned this year.
Math: We finished our Unit 6 assessment and everyone did a great job. Remember, if you want to see these assessments, please email me and I will send these home for you to review with your child. On Friday we took the iReady math assessment on the computers. We still have a few students that need to finish this assessment. Next week we will go to the computer lab and finished iReady and Fastbridge assessments. We will review everything we have learned so far in math. We will have our ice cream party celebrating our addition and subtraction fact fluency.
Science: We are learning about forces and motion. The students learned about forces in nature, like wind. They had to be the wind and blow their sheep from the pen to the pasture. They compared blowing with and without a straw to determine the number puffs they needed to get their sheep to the pasture. They will be building a roller coaster next week!
Have a great weekend!
