April 25 - 29

 

April 25th - April 29th


This week we will be focusing on the Purpose. We want to invite your student to wear maize & blue on Mondays to celebrate the Positivity Project. To check this out at home, you can access the P2 for Families at https://posproject.org/p2-for-families/  The password is P2. 


Nuts & Bolts

  • Please make sure your student charges their computer every night. We have been getting lax about charging and many students are not prepared for learning.

  • NWEA Reading test this Monday, April 25th. Due to testing, we will have no spelling this week!

  • Monday, May 2nd there is NO SCHOOL!

  • Kids should bring a full water bottle to school everyday as well as a healthy snack. Please continue to have them dress in layers until we know the weather has officially warmed up.

What to Work on at Home

To keep your student practicing the skills we are working hard on at school, please consider having them work on:

Reading- 20-30 minutes/day.

Spelling-  NONE THIS WEEK DUE TO TESTING. Students will receive spelling words on Monday and take their test on Friday. Please make sure they study their words every night.

IXL Math Practice- Please have your child work on IXL:  BB - DD for 10-15 minutes per day at home!


Class this Week

Math- We will start Unit 6: Measuring length, time, liquid, volume, and weight. In this unit, students generate and represent length measurement data in halves and fourths of an inch on line plots. They learn about and estimate relative units of measure including weight, liquid volume, and time, and use the four operations to solve problems involving measurement.

Reading- This week we will focus on tying all of our reading strategies together. Groups will be working on reading stories and creating plot mountains to sequence events, character maps to work on traits and inference charts to work on predictions!

Writing- Students will begin to work on Poetry. During the next few weeks we will analyze poems, discuss figurative language, practice different types of poetry and create meaningful poems that are great keepsakes. At the end of the unit, we will hold a poetry slam and the kids find this so fun!

Upcoming Dates to Know: 

April 25: NWEA Reading test.
April 25, 27, 29: Millage club.
April 27: Late Start- school starts at 9:25.
May 2: NO SCHOOL!
