Math: We
continue work in our unit, Using Data to Answer Questions. We are working to interpret and create real,
picture and bar graphs as a tool to organize information. After our
assessment next week, we will begin Geometry.
We begin with exploring plane shapes, making an organized list, and
building with shapes.
Please
keep up with math fact practice at home!
Phonics: In phonics we are continue to master the long vowel sounds
and the vowel-consonant-e syllable type for reading and spelling. Students are working hard to “mark up” these
words as they are required to recognize numerous parts of words. We will wrap this unit up by the middle of
May.
Social
Development: Check out the blog post below about
bucket filling, a social development initiative focusing on how our actions
impact others. The kids are so excited
to begin work with this idea in May!
Religion: Students have been learning about the Pentecost over the
past week. On Tuesday students had an
assessment on this topic. We are
thinking about the ways that the Holy Spirit can help us in our daily lives.
Science: When students return to school next week, the
caterpillars will likely be in their chrysalis.
In several weeks we will schedule a trip to Adam’s Farm for a butterfly
release and picnic. I will send out the
final details on this as we solidify plans.
Happy Mother’s Day!
