Peek at Our Week

on May 12, 2019

Happy Mothers day to all you wonderful moms out there! I hope you enjoyed your day and were spoiled by your family. My boys, husband, and brothers did a great job for the mom’s in my family today 🙂

Reminders for the week:

  • Monday: City Beautiful Parade @ 1:30 ; Please WEAR GREEN
  • NWEA Testing begins this week. We will begin with reading tomorrow.
  • Wednesday: Late start
  • Friday: School store during lunch
  • DONATIONS: Please donate PLASTIC grocery bags to our classroom for a STEM project. Ask your child about the book we read on Friday titled One Plastic Bag.
  • Field trip forms and payment are due on Friday the 17th.

This week we will begin NWEA testing. Please remind your children how important it is to take their time and do their best. In reading we will continue to read from our class novel of Charlotte’s Webb. The kids are really enjoying this classic story. This week we will also be doing a class “Book tasting” where students will “sample” six different books to determine their interest. They will fill out forms to help them create a top three list of book choices. From there I will choose from their top choices and put them in book groups.

In science we will be researching things that you can make with a plastic bag to help reduce the impact of these bags on our environment. Students will work in groups of three to make a plan and start creating their item. In writing we will be writing about why we should reduce the amount of plastic bags we use to go along with our STEM science projects.

In math we will continue to discuss perimeter and focus on perimeter word problems. We will also be talking about the coordinate grid and how to plot points on the X and Y axis.

This week is our last FULL week of school and I can hardly believe it!!! This week will be our last vocabulary test.

Academic Vocabulary:

  1. Perimeter- The distance AROUND a shape; around the OUTSIDE.
  2. Attribute- A characteristic of something like a shape. Example: a square has 2 sets of parallel lines.
  3. Economics- The system of how money is made and used in a country.
  4. Respect-Treating someone fairly and caring about how others feel.

Looking forward to a great week and crossing my fingers, legs, and toes for warm air and SUNSHINE!
