The beginning of the end...

Hello!
It's hard to believe that we are quickly approaching the end of the year! We will be keeping the same routines in place until about the middle of June, when most things have finished up and we're anxious for some fun!

This week we took our ELA Unit 5 Assessment. Next week we'll start Unit 6 and focus on the skills of cause and effect, fact and opinion, making judgments, main idea/details, and summarizing. Weekly homework packets will continue coming home with 2 stories to read for the week, due back by Friday.

In math we will be wrapping up Module 7 next week, and starting our last module of the year. Module 8 focuses on time, shapes and fractions.

As of today, our Power Points are complete! We will spend next week practicing our presentations in order to be ready for our favorite audience-YOU!
The show will start next Friday, 5/11 at 1:45pm in the cafeteria to sing "Fifty Nifty," then we'll head to our individual classrooms to present our Power Points. They have been working SO HARD on these and are so excited to present their work to you!

The week after our Power Point presentations we will start our last Science unit of the year, Magnets.

Share Topics:
Starting next week we will no longer have assigned share days and topics. We will have share sign ups each morning and students can tell us any "news" they want to share with the class. They'll be able to share one time each week, should they choose to.

Just a few reminders now that the warm weather has finally arrived:
-Wearing sandals/flip flops to school is fine, as long as they have sneakers to change into for recess and gym.
-We are outside right at the hottest time of the day (recess is 11:30-12:00) so don't forget to put sunscreen on in the morning!

Thank you to everyone who has recently sent in snacks for our emergency bin! These spring days get busy and it's helpful to have extra on hand to help anyone who had a crazy morning!

We have two last parent reader spots available on May 18th and June 1st. Let me know if you'd be interested in either one!

Please email or call the school if you have any questions about anything coming up-I know these days get busy!
