Reminders

-Fine Arts and French night TOMORROW from 5:30-8:00.  Please come and be amazed with our artistic abilities and French studies!

-Our book fair continues through tomorrow, students can pop in before school, during the day, and after school.  If you would like to pack money in an envelope and label and place in their HW notebook, Mrs. Smith can hold it and help with the shopping.

-No school next Friday, April 29^th

- We had a discussion yesterday as the day came to a close.  Mrs. Smith and myself took the time to remind the scholars that we are expecting active learning, and scholarly behavior though our last days together. If you could have a brief discussion as well at home it would be greatly appreciated!  I know the anxious feelings and excitement are at a high as summer approached! :]

- We will be spending some of our afternoon tomorrow celebrating Earth Day!

I am really looking forward to next week! LOTS of fun concepts, people, and stories!

History

Spending the week reading and learning about our trailblazer, Daniel Boone! We will be working through an activity packet, reading about his travels, acknowledging his accomplishments, and even making a pop up craft in our history notebooks!

Science

We are ending our electricity unit with conductors and insulators.  A unit assessment will take place on Thursday.  Thank you Noah for bringing in a super fun and fascinating circuit! If you have one at home please feel free to send it in! 

Literature

Winnie the Pooh! What a feel good classic! We will be reading our Winnie story and making a fictional book review brochure.   I will take their brochure and sharing it as a work sample for next school year. I will be checking for accurate copy work, complete sentences, neatness, and overall completion with attention to details.

Math

I am happy to say that we have been working well with our math counters, whiteboards, and explanations when adding and subtracting within 100! I will check for understanding with a unit assessment towards the end of next week. *correction* The following week-May 2nd, we will start our money unit!  Students will be expected to recognize bills and count money up to $100. I have some great money counters to work with! Students will also be expected to read money amounts and compare prices. So much fun!
