This week in reading we will learn that a contraction is one or more words put together and that a letter or letters are left out. We will learn that an apostrophe takes the place of the missing letter(s). We will work on revising and editing our nonfiction writing pieces. We will be having an author celebration party soon! Additionally, during guided reading, we are working on plays. Each child has a part or parts in a play. We are working on reading our parts fluently and beginning to use expression.
In math we will survey students in our class and other classes, record the data using tally and bar graphs, and ask and answer questions about the data. The students will create appropriate titles and create questions based on the graphs. We will also revisit soling word problems involving three variables. For example: There are 7 kids on the bus. 3 more girls and 9 more boys get on the bus. How many are on the bus now?
In science we will continue learning about life cycles.
Thursday, May 31st will be the last day the take-home reading books will be assigned. We'd appreciate having all books returned by Tuesday, June 5th so that we can catalog our collection and finalize our records. Thank you!
Please return the field trip permission slip was sent home last week if you haven't already! The kids are looking forward to walking to Lion's park next Friday! Make sure your child brings a cold lunch and something to drink!
