Reading News
We’re about to wrap up
Number the Stars.
Next week the students will take the
end of the book test, but they will be able to refer to the book
for assistance.
Also, I will conduct the last Dibels
testing starting on Monday.
English News
Our emphasis this week was on haiku
poems, shape poems, and grammar.
Students are reviewing nouns, verbs,
prepositions, possessive nouns, possessive pronouns, personal
pronouns, prepositions, adjectives, and adverbs.
It’s amazing how much grammar they
learned this year through the pattern sentences!
Science News
Can your child tell you the 6 simple
machines?
I hope so!
Thanks for donating the “tinkering”
items.
Students will create a vehicle to
move an ear of corn 3 feet!
To create the vehicle, students must
use the materials provided and the 6 simple machines taught in
class.
Math News
Most of the students can
successfully add and subtract fractions with unlike
denominators.
See if your child can give you an
example.
Later next week we’ll learn about
multiplying fractions.
That wraps up this week.
I’ll touch base with everyone next
Friday.
Have a great weekend.
