Happy Birthday Spencer!
No School on Friday, April 3rd and all next week! Happy Spring Break!
This week...
There will be no spelling or poem this week.
Reading/Writing
We will continue the unit on reading a variety of texts and writing about texts. We will have another reading marathon on Monday. The kids love this and they have built up such stamina for reading! What a difference from the beginning of the year! The NYS State ELA test will be the week after vacation. The work they have done all year in reading and writing has prepared them well. We have looked at examples of test essays, passages and have learned good test taking strategies. At this point, the students do not seem to feel stressed about the testing and I encourage you to let me know if you see any stress at home.
Math
We completed the fraction unit and will spend this week working on geometry.
Social Studies
We continued the United States unit by reading an American tall tale on Johnny Appleseed. This week, we will compare him to the real Johnny Appleseed-John Chapman.
