June 12-16

Wow! I cannot believe this is our last week of school. I have loved every minute of teaching my students this year. They are a wonderful group and I am so excited to watch them continue to grow. Our plans for the week will include a lot of cleaning up and organizing, but we will continue to read books, write paragraphs, build words, and solve problems during math workshop. Mr. Awada is asking that NO backpacks enter the building after Tuesday. This means that all students must take home any materials that they wish to keep. Also, I must collect all of their books (with the exception of books that I told them they could keep). Please make sure that your child brings his/her books with him/her tomorrow so that the collection can begin. They will read from my books for the remainder of the week during Daily 5. Have a great night! Enjoy this weather 🙂

Homework

Good evening families!
Sorry for the late post. The homework tonight was a review for our math assessment tomorrow. They were to find the missing number to make the equation true.

Tomorrow, we will celebrate our PBIS reward. They may bring any playground equipment they wish, as we will have an extra recess 🙂

Have a great night!

Writing topic: Write about a time when you shared. Who did you share with? What did you share? Here is an example:

Sharing is easy and helpful. Once, I shared my markers with a friend. First, Mrs. Klan asked us to illustrate our stories. Next, my friend, Amy did not have crayons or markers. She was sad. After that, I offered to let her share my markers. She smiled and was very thankful. Finally, we both drew beautiful pictures to match our stories. Sharing is being a good friend!

Reading: We are identifying the main idea, key details, and central message of stories. Students should be able to tell who the main characters are, where the setting is, and important events from the beginning, middle and end. This is called a recount and we often use a BMME chart to sequence the events when we retell stories in writing.

Math: We are working with fact families. There is a whole (the biggest number) and parts. They should know that when we add the parts together, the sum is the whole. We are learning that we can solve for the missing number by subtracting. We are drawing illustrations to solve story problems and can now solve problems with three addends. Students should be able to write an equation to match the story problem.

Science: We are looking at animal characteristics and learning that these traits are passed along from the parents to the young in animals and humans. This is called heredity or genetics.
Students should be able to match the parent animal with its young.

Social studies: Students are almost done taking the unit social studies test that asks questions about the past, present, and future. Additionally, they must know why we celebrate Independence Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and Presidents’ Day.

Writing: We are writing personal narratives (true stories about ourselves) on various topics. Students should be able to write a topic sentence, provide three important events in order, and add a closing sentence.

Let’s have a fantastic week!

Thursday

Tonight’s homework involves a story problem where students have to illustrate their problem solving and then write a sentence to match. It also reviews fact families.
