May 13-17

Writing:
We will work on Veggie Tales this week!  That means we will choose a vegetable and give it human-like characteristics and a problem to solve.  On Monday your child will bring home a plan and ask you to help them provide their supplies, including a real vegetable! 


Reading:
Our end of year reading assessments are over and I'm proud of everyone's reading!  This week we get to focus on reader's theater which is always a hit!  We will use plays such as A Wild Day and Frog and Toad to study theater.  We will continue to review reading skills learned this year with our "Reading A-Z" booklets.


Spelling:
Your child will receive their words to practice at home on Monday and we will check for understanding on Friday.


Math:
We will revisit comparing fractions,equivalent fractions, and rounding numbers this week.  We'll also spend some time with a few "Springy Stations" to review other math skills we've learned this year.  Math homework will come home on Tuesday and should be returned on Wednesday as usual.

Social Studies:
We are looking at how communities change with transportation, communication, and recreation.  We will work on interviewing someone to gain more information as a homework assignment.  This will come home on May 20th and be due on Tuesday, May 21st.  If you have an "old-fashioned" game like (jacks, hopscotch, checkers, etc.) that we can use to demonstrate the difference in gaming from the past and present please send it our way.
