Language Arts
We are back on track after CRCT Testing with our story of the week. This week's selection is called, "Planets." We discussed today how Pluto had been demoted last year and is no longer considered a "planet". We have a very high interest in this subject and we will be using the NASA website for the next few weeks. Please note this website so your child can use it at home for their enjoyment. Go to: www.nasa.gov and locate the Kids' Club section. Also, some students enjoy the pictures and updated information on space and exploration.
Math
Today I sent home this week's Math Facts for our Weekly Test on Friday. We are also completing our unit on "Weight" and we should have our Chapter Test at the end of the week.
Spelling
Your child should have also brought home their new weekly Spelling List today to study for our Friday Test.
Campus Cleanup Day
Please make a note on your calendars for our Annual Campus Cleanup day. It is this Saturday, May 3rd, from 9-12. Please stop by when you can to help our parents with this wonderful project.
Reading Groups
I am currently beginning my "End-of-the-Year" Assessment with each student, so our reading groups will not resume until this is complete. I must read individually with each student, so I can include this information in their Portfolios as they move into Second Grade. Thank you for your patience and please continue your daily reading activities at home.
Library Checkouts
We only have 10 more days to check out library books, so we will not have anymore class checkouts. However, students can still go individually and check out books to take home. I encourage them to do this as often as they can this time of year.
