What We are Learning Right Now in the Classroom

The children have been working hard since we have returned from Spring Break. I am proud of their hard work and accomplishments. Here is what we are learning in the classroom:

Language Arts- We are working on reviewing narrative writing. We are working on dipthong ou and ow  during Phonics time. We are working on going back to the text in reading texts to find information to answer questions. We continue to work on comprehension skills, increasing our reading level, reading strategies and Word Work during Daily 5.

Math- We are discussing 2 and 3 dimensional shapes. We are comparing and contrasting their attributes. We are composing shapes. We are discussing partitioning shapes into halve and fourths.

Social Studies- We have been discussing George Washington Carver and the importance of his life and the positive impact and contributions he had on others.

Science- We continue to discuss Animals and adaptations for survival.

Registration and End of Year Stuff

The Student Info Update Form and the envelope that will be used to mail report cards home at the end of the year will be going home with students tomorrow. We will send parents a text and an email so they know to look for them and that they are due back on Thursday, 18th. As they are returned, you can either hold them in your classroom till 4/18 or you can send them up to me in the office.
