· Literature
Studies coming up! You can order a copy for your child,
· THE
GIVING PROJECT, we have decided as a class to focus in the Humane Society! Ask
your child about what they have learned on how we can help this organization.
We did research on the IPads on what is on their wish list and how it can help.
Some items are inexpensive and and other require more finical commitment. Any
help is greatly appreciate as we learn as we learn the value of giving back to
our community.
· The Core
Value for the month of April is, Perseverance. I
would like the students to persevere through their school work even when they
might feel like they want to give up.
Also, persevering through the school day as our energy levels may
decrease.
· As the
year comes to an end the windy spring days come with an extra level of
energy. Please talk with your child
about staying on task and participating all day, every day. We have seen a spike in reminders, any follow
up at home is helpful!
Next Week:
Literature./Science
Next week we will double
dip with literature and science while learning about simple machines. These
machines include the wedge, screw, and incline plane. We will talk about the makings of these items
and their importance. Again, we don’t have RTI of AZMerit testing. Instead as a
class we will be having an author’s study on Patricia Polacco. This week we
will be reading Thunder Cake and
completing a memory activity and enjoying our very own Thunder Cake snack,
compliments of Ms. Denny! YUM!
Social Studies
We have been
introduced to our Westward Expansion unit. We will be reviewing the influences of
Thomas Jefferson and will be introduced to Lewis and Clark! The kids are VERY
excited. Next week we will learn about
both of their strengths and how each of them helped with the exploration. We will also review the three goals they had
in mind as they were on their journey.
Math
The kids absolutely LOVED geometry and we saw many interesting connections.
Now that we understand the attributes that make a shape we will be partitioning
and identifying equal parts. Fractions,
how fun!
