Weekly Update

May 1st-5th

Hello Families!
Listed below are the important reminders and objectives for our week.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks!

Important Reminders:
 

  • MAP testing is officially over!  Woohoo!  To celebrate "putting the MAP to bed" we are wearing our pajamas on Monday!
  • On Tuesday we will be having Junior Achievement.  Volunteers from Panera will be coming to our classroom to teach us about consumers, producers, and money.  The Junior Achievement lesson will be from 9:00-2:15.  We will still have our normal block and lunch time.
  • While I love the idea of using a fidget toy to help with staying focused, there are a few of them that are "toys" and not being used in the correct way.  Yikes!  Concord has put a ban on the fidget spinners.  These are no longer allowed to come to school.  They are being used as "toys" and are causing a lot of distraction.  The other item that is creating a mess, is the slime.  NO more slime can come to school.  Let me know if you have any questions!
  • Thursday will be our Ice Cream party for earning all of our multiplication scoops!  Way to go!  
  • Friday is the good-bye party for Ms. Thompson.  If you still need to send in money or books please do so ASAP.  Thanks for your help!

Writing: This week we will continue our newest writing unit: Autobiographies!  This week we are going to focus on writing about our families, interests, and special memories.  

Reading:  During reading this week we will take time to read autobiographies and biographies in order to gain ideas for our writing!


Math:  We are reviewing again today for the Ch. 14 test.  Our test will be Wednesday.  Please use the study guide that will come home today to review this chapter with your kiddos.  Thanks!


Social Studies:   We are working on our project to complete Ch. 4.  The students are having fun learning about all of the different National Parks, Monuments, Memorials, and Places in the United States.



Have a great week!
