April 30-May 4, 2018


Wow! Field Day was so fun! We loved having the opportunity to travel with our small teams to stations of our choice. It's great to build independence and be responsible for cooperating with our team mates! Thanks to all of the parents that volunteered to run a station and walk around with kids! They loved seeing you there.

KnOWLedge Night is this Thursday, May 3.  Our Reading Restaurant will be open for business (come and go) from 5:30pm-7:00pm.  We hope to see you there!

Homework:  A May reading calendar will go home today in the Tuesday folder.  The homework bags will not go home for the rest of the year.  Your child may still read in RAZ-kids and work in IXL.

This week in Reading Workshop...
We will be focusing on reading comprehension skills to help us become stronger readers.  This week we will have read aloud experiences and lessons that review the skills we've learned this year.

This week in Writing Workshop...
We will finish our Family Writing.  This writing sample will be on the menu for Thursday night! We will share our beginning of the year family writing and compare it to the end of the year. We have grown so much as writers this year.

This week in Math...
We will work on comparison subtraction in problem solving situations.  We will explore problems such as, "Molly has 12 lollipops, Kennedy has 10 lollipops. How many more lollipops does Molly have than Kennedy?"  We will work on comparing data and measurement as well during this unit.

This week in Science...
We will learn about Habitats such as the Rainforest, Savannah, Desert, Ocean, Forest and Wetlands.  We will discuss how the plants and animals work together in these habitats.  We will also think about how the food chain works in these habitats.

The Life skill for this week is Courage.  Having Courage means that you act according to your beliefs despite the fear of adverse consequences.

Have a great week! We hope to see you on Thursday!
