The month of May
went by very quickly! I can’t believe it will be June tomorrow! The weather is certainly
telling us that summer is near!
In Math, we worked
on solving addition story problems using multiple strategies. The students are
getting very good with tens and ones and showing different strategies for the
same problem. The students also played some review games with a partner to
practice adding and money skills.
Next week, we’ll work
on hundreds, tens, and ones with stickers and story problems.
In Science, we learned
a lot about the moon. We read about the moons in different months, read a moon
packet and watched a short video called All
about the Moon. We learned the four main phases of the moon too. They are
new moon, first quarter moon, full moon, and last quarter. We also read The Moon Book by Gail Gibbons. The
students enjoyed writing and sharing funny solar system stories too! We had a
great laugh together! I sent home the
study guide for our test next Wednesday 6/5.
In Writing, we wrote
expository pieces about a classmate. Each student interviewed another student
in class and then wrote an informative paragraph about the person. It was fun learning
about someone in class and the writing was fantastic! We’ll share them next
week.
*Check the
backpack folder notice regarding a special spirit week starting on Monday. Each
day has a different theme, so it should be fun! Monday will be Pajama Day!
*Reminder*
The Famous
American Tea scripts are due on June 10th and the costumes on June
11th. Please help your child prepare their script for this special
event!
Enjoy
this lovely hot weather! J
