Reading and Writing
This week in reading we will be reading some books about some very special people. Those special people are our moms! Students will celebrate their mommies and read some wonderful books about moms. We’re making a little something for our awesome moms in our lives! Can’t share more, it’s a secret…… you’ll see!
Math
We are continuing 3 digit addition and subtraction this week. We are combining them and students will be responsible for deciding whether a problem is asking them to add or subtract. We will review everything we’ve learned before assessing at the end of the week.
Science:
This week we will be wrapping up our unit on animals and plants and completing our PBL. Now that we have learned so much about animals we will assess to test our knowledge, and we will also have a large school-wide fundraiser. We will be collecting money all week from booths by the school doors in the morning and afternoon and all of this money will donated to The Austin Zoo on our field trip the week after next on Thursday. We will take a big check to present to the Zoo! To learn more about the Austin Zoo visit this website: http://austinzoo.org/.
To increase awareness of our fundraiser next week we are asking the kids to wear special clothes each day:
Monday- 5/02: Hats Off to Helping- Wear a crazy hat to school
Tuesday- 5/03: Socks for Snakes- Wear mixed up socks
Wednesday- 5/04: Tattoos for Tigers- Wear stripes. The more you wear, the more you support our Earth.
Thursday- 5/05: Operation Ocean- Wear blue of all shades
Friday- 5/06: PJs for Pandas- wear your PJs and enjoy a movie showing during lunch in the cafeteria
Remind your child to bring in their dollars to donate and help support animals and get a chance to vote on the teacher they want to see slimed.
