Eid Mubarak to all those who celebrated this weekend. We have a full week but a late start on Wednesday.

• Tuesday, April 25 – I am required to attend a District meeting all day. Ms. Sabbrah will be our guest teacher.
• Wednesday, April 26 – Late Start – The first bell rings at 9:55.

ELA

• Writer’s Workshop – We finished our opinion assessment on Wednesday. We will write a cross-curricular opinion about winter recess this week. It is cross-curricular because a Social Studies requirement is to take a stand on a school topic.
• We are in our second week of the Unit 8 Benchmark. It is about goods and services, which is a review of a past topic in Social Studies.
• Spelling – Your first grader has spelling practice every day except Friday. It is not a question of “Do you have homework?” It should be “Get your spelling homework booklet.”

Math

We are learning about analog and digital clocks. We are reading the time on the hour and the half. We will be finished with Module 5 by the end of the week. We will go back to Module 4, which we skipped so that the students had exposure to geometry and clocks before the Spring NWEA Math assessment.

Science

We are learning about vibrations and sound. We will finish it up this week and move on to light.

Social Studies

We will be looking at artifacts of items from the past and matching them with things we use today.

Thank you for all of your support. Have a great week.

Mrs. Korte
