We've made it
to May! I'm so proud of these boys and girls! They have learned so much and
grown a lot too! This week we will begin our End
of Year Assessments. It will take us a couple of
weeks to get through everything.
Reminders:
Monday (5/1): Homework bag will come
home.
Tuesday (5/2): Tuesday folder will come home.
Wednesday (5/3): Library- no check out. ALL BOOKS are DUE! If your
child owes money for a book it must be paid
for by May 5th in order for
them to attend the Book Fair.
Thursday (5/4):
Friday (5/5):
STAAR
Testing for 3rd, 4th and 5th grade will be May 8th, 9th and 10th. Our campus will be closed to visitors those three
days.
This
week in Reading Workshop...
We
will continue to review the strategies that Strong Readers use to help them
understand what they read. We use our
"strategy tool kit" as a reminder of what we have learned this year. At the end of First grade readers naturally use
their comprehension strategies! It's fun when we can name what we do as
readers.
This
week in Writing Workshop...
We
will be completing our end of the year Family Writing. It's so exciting for the students to see how much
they've grown when they compare their beginning of the year family writing to
the end of the year. These pieces will be displayed
at KnOWLedge Night.
This
week in Math...
We
will be moving on to a unit on Inequality and Comparison Subtraction. Students will be thinking about the equal sign and
what is on either side of it. Comparison
subtraction deals with quanties that are compared with each other. An example would be, Mrs. Caballero baked 12
cupcakes. Lyla baked 15. How many more cupcakes did Lyla bake that Mrs.
Caballero?
This
week in Science...
We
will begin our unit on Plants. We will study
seeds this week. I would love for the students
to bring a seed in by next Tuesday (May 2) to observe with our class. This can be a seed from a fruit or veggie that you
eat at home. We will observe these and
discuss the plants they will grow into.
Have
a great week!
