Writing and reading:
This week we are working on a surprise for one our favorite people, our moms! I won't tell you much but it's sure to be sweet.
We are also working on the project portion of our research projects. We've completed the research papers and now it's time to show off what we learned with some kind of visual display. Students will decide what they want to make, bring supplies from home, and get working!
I have some supplies, like poster board, crayons, markers, etc, but if students need anything extra, they will need to bring it from home.
Math and social studies:
It's time for one of my very favorite units of the entire year, our unit on personal financial literacy! This week we are kicking off an integrated unit where students will learn all about having a job, earning a salary, paying rent and deciding how expensive of a home they can afford. They will learn about responsible borrowing and good credit. They will also calculate interest on more expensive items and why interest is necessary.
Reminders:
Save the date! Our awards ceremony and end of year party will be on Tuesday, May 30th!
