NWEA testing will begin next week. We will start with reading and then move on to math the following week. Please make sure you are getting the children to bed early in order for them to be well rested for this assessment.

Please put your child on readingeggs.com at home and have them do a couple of lessons each night.  This can count on the reading log in the homework for some of the nightly reading!

Agenda for the Week

Reading/Writing:  We are back to informational writing and linking our science, reading, and writing together to complete reports about ocean animals. First, we began learning about the different ocean zones and which animals live in each zone. We will be learning about sharks, fish, dolphins, crabs, sea horses, and sea turtles. We will read articles about the animals and write reports about them as well as complete many crafts. We will use our crafts to turn our classroom into an ocean!

Math: We took our -3 math quiz today. Today, I sent home the -4 flashcards for practice. We will take the -4 quiz on Friday, April 28th.

Science: We talked about earth day and ways we can help the earth by recycling, reusing, and reducing. We had a great assembly today about how we can “Think Green!”

Social Studies: We are still learning about maps. We reviewed compasses. Tying in our ocean theme, we looked a globe this week and discussed the difference between the green parts and the blue parts. The children were amazed to learn that the earth is mostly covered in water!

Housekeeping Items:

Children need a snack each day! Please do not send candy as a snack. The children need a healthy snack each day such as fruit, crackers, cheese, yogurt, granola bars, etc.  As a reminder, no juice is allowed in class for snack.
