 Hello families!

Don't forget to be working on your planet project outlined in the March homework!

Next week is the book fair! We will be going on Thursday as a class. Please click THIS LINK to let me know if you plan on letting your student shop. Talk about what they can get if you give them money to spend. 

Recess Ball expectations: Students can bring balls to take out to recess but recently several students have struggled maintaining the ball expectations. Students will keep it in the class cart while in the building. Students who brought the ball will carry it down the hallway without bouncing/ throwing/ kicking it in the school building. At recess the owner of the ball must ask a teacher for permission to go get the ball beyond the fence if it goes over before retrieving it. When the whistle blows all play must stop and the owner must carry it to the line immediately.

Academics:

Phonics: We will be focusing on aw and au. Both say awww (like what you say to a cute baby)! For example we have the word 'cause' and the word 'law'. 

Comprehension: We will be looking at cause and effect through stories about American leaders. We will have to connect events that occur at the beginning of a person's story and see how it effects them throughout the rest of the text.

Writing: We will continue to develop our opinion pieces and also work on identifying subject (what the sentence is about) and the verb (what it is doing). We worked hard in math. 'We' is the subject, and 'worked' is the verb. 

Math: We wrapped up our math testing this week and will be starting our geometry unit! This is personally my favorite and usually the student's favorite! We will talk about 2D shapes attributes and then go into 3D attributes! 

Science: We will wrap up our space unit next week! The students love space and they are so curious about it!  Here is a fun website that students can get on to extend the learning at home!https://www.nasa.gov/kidsclub/index.html
