Week of May 6th

Hello Families!

Reading - The children have a May reading assignment.  We have a selection of small chapter book kits in the classroom.  The children have 2 weeks to complete 2 books, 2 AR tests, and 2 reading responses.  I give them 25 to 30 minutes 4 times weekly to read in class, so most can finish their books in class.  You might communicate with your child about this, so they know you know about it. :)

English - We will finish up our poetry unit this week.  I have so enjoyed reading the children's poetry!  They are quite a creative bunch!

Spelling - States list 3

Math - Converting mixed numbers to improper fractions and improper to mixed

Science - Plants

Social Studies - Types of wagons, SW Location and Capital test on Wednesday (This test only includes 4 states including Oklahoma so we will take the capitals/locations together.)

Don't forget that the Egg Drop is Friday!! Can't wait to see all the great inventions!

Our 50 point AR party is Friday.  Thanks to those who are donating food items for it and those who are helping out as well! :)
