Last week, the kids worked really hard on the ELA tests and we even got to celebrate with an extra recess on Thursday and Friday. Woo-hoo for some sunshine! It's hard to believe we have one more week until April vacation. Have a wonderful vacation week!!
**FYI Raffle basket donations are due this Wednesday, April 9th! Our theme is "Local Favorites".
This week...
Reading
Students will continue reading independent reading books. We will also read some fairy tales to go along with our read aloud-The Land of Stories. The class is really enjoying the read aloud! They are on the edge of their seats!
Writing
This week, we will get into our persuasive writing unit. We will start by writing a persuasive letter on the same topic. It will be something school related. Students will try to really persuade me to agree to something like an extra recess or a lunch in the classroom. I can't wait to see what they come up with!
Math
Now that the ELA tests are done, we will start focusing on the upcoming NYS Math test. My goal over the next couple of weeks is to make sure all of the topics for the test have been covered. We will be working on data collection/graphing and area/perimeter this week.
Science/Social Studies
We will be working on the solar system unit in science. Students are researching the planets and will then complete a short project on each planet. In social studies, we are studying culture.
