A note from Ms.
Smith…
I want to start
by sharing some personal information.
Your kiddo might have come home and told you that I was sad or worried
on Friday. This is because my oldest
daughter, Gracie, hurt her knee very badly last week. I took her to the doctor, and they think she
most likely has torn her ACL in her left knee.
After taking x-rays, they also found a tumor on her right tibia. There is a very, very low percentage that it
is cancerous (so that is good), but they will most likely have to surgically
remove it so it doesn’t begin to cause her trouble. I will be out this coming Wednesday in order
to take her in for an MRI on both legs.
We will know more after this. I
might have to be out several more times if we need to schedule surgery on one
or both legs before school lets out. I
wanted to let you know that this is a possibility. I am a worried parent, and I’m having all of
the “Mommy feels”. I would greatly
appreciate it if you would please keep my little family in your thoughts.

In
Reading and Writing...
We
will begin our last Research project of the year. This will be a
time when students choose their topic, find sources, read, take notes and
create a presentation about their topic. We will work
on this project for two weeks! Tomorrow the students
will be presented with books from the library. They will
choose a topic based on the variety of books selected.
In
Math...
We
will begin a unit on Fractional Parts. The questions
we will ask ourselves are "How do I
know if I’ve shared something fairly? How
exact does measurement have to be?" We will also spiral back to telling
time during this unit. We will review telling time to the hour and learn about
telling time to the half hour.
In Science...
We will wrap up our unit on Animals. We
will review the 3 types of animal groups we focused on. Birds, Fish and
Mammals. We we discuss how the food chain works in nature. We will also learn
about the life cycle of a frog.
Have a great
week!
