Happy Mother’s Day! I hope you had a chance to celebrate with your loved ones this weekend. Miller is participating in the Olive Garden fundraiser for leukemia. Your child received a small bank with a flyer explaining this great cause. Please consider donating and asking family members to help out as well. The class that raises the most money will win a pasta party from Olive Garden. Wednesday is a late start. Here is our focus for this week.
Math: We are starting our new module on Fractions.
Science: We will continue studying animal adaptations, learned behaviors, and instincts that help an animal survive.
Social Studies: We will finish our unit on government this week with a study guide coming home later in the week. A test is planned for next Monday.
Reading: We will be focusing on literature this week and being able to recount the main events in a story.
Writing: We will begin drafting our research reports. We will focus on informational text structures including writing with topic sentences, supporting details, and concluding sentences.
