We had a great week before vacation! Riley was Student of the Week and she invited her brothers to join us for snack! It was so nice to have them visit. The kids had a lot of fun with a group activity called "The Triangle Problem". They had to work together to create as many shapes as possible from 4 triangles. Check out some pictures below!

This week...

Reading
Students will continue to read independently, a book of their choice. Students should be reading 30 minutes each night.  In class, we will start a unit on mysteries.

Writing
We will continue the persuasive writing unit. The class has a lot of fun writing speeches to convince me to add a little more outside time now that the weather is nicer. They had some very persuasive reasons!

Math
We will be continuing a unit on geometry and we will be preparing for next week's NYS Math Test. It will be April 30th-May 2nd. Please try not to schedule any appointments during that time.
