I can't believe it's already MAY!  Where has this year gone?

 

We will be starting week 3 in our reading unit.  We will continue to review reading strategies and focus more on author's purpose.  We will continue to focus on our big question for this unit, "What does America mean to you?"  We will get new vocab. words this week, as always, a half sheet with the week 3 & 4 words will be sent home in their homework folders!  We will focus on final syllables with schwa, -ent, and -ant for spelling.  Please remember, this unit serves as a "wrap up" and we will be reviewing skills we have learned throughout the year!

 

Please remember, Chapter 17 study guides came home last week.  It was also on their homework agenda.  Please make sure to look it over Monday night.  We will be testing over picture graphs on Tuesday.  We will begin Chapter 19: Shapes and Patterns after testing!  The Home-School letter will be sent home when we start!

 

We will continue to work on economics this week and also do some special projects in class!  We learned about needs vs wants last week and goods and services.  We will continue learning more about consumers and producers... and maybe...do some important activities that deal with moms...;)

 

A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL THE PARENT VOLUNTEERS THAT CAME TO THE FIELD TRIP!  We had a blast and pictures have been posted on the albums page of the blog.  I hope the students came home and shared some things about the trip with you!
