We have reached the one month mark! Where has the time gone! It feels just like yesterday that these little guys were walking into the classroom for the first time. As we began to wrap up our curriculum items, I am planning a lot of fun things for us to do to wrap up our year.
We will begin a read aloud and we will do a small project with it as we close out the year. The book that was originally chosen was Bridge to Terabithia, however, they will read that book in fourth grade with Mrs. Brucatto. So, we will read the runner up book which is A Night Divided. Our field trip will be after their musical as the practice times vary, and it is important that we are at those. We will be going to Brookfield Zoo as we will study ecosystems during that time. I have not told the students where we are going as we will begin a polling activity where they vote and guess where they think we are going. More information will come out about the field trip once the trip has been finalized. Memory Work: On May 7, they will recite verse 2 from Dressing for Battle. "Check to see your plates are tightened, Then in case you're really frightened, They will never notice if you shiver and shout. Even though Goliath's stronger, You can live a little longer If you stay inside the suit and never come out!" Math: We have just two lesson left in topic 14 before we move into reviewing. Since we covered three things; time, volume and mass, we will spend 2-3 days reviewing for the test. I want to make sure that the students enter the test with confidence. They really enjoyed the volume lessons as they were able to conduct experiments with different containers and cups. A lot of them rejoiced at the fact that the activities and homework were fun and easy. Reading: This is an upside down week fo us in reading. We are dedicating a lot of time to our stories as we look to finish them before working on our other writing activites. We are taking our language usage map test tomorrow, so everything is being spread out to accommodate the testing block. Please be sure to have them eat a breakfast in the morning. We are focusing on historical fiction, with the focus being on weather and how it affects us. Theme is another focal point for us, as we continue to practice pulling messages out of the stories we read. In grammar we are focusing on adjectives that compare. These are adjectives that we've learned sporadically throughout the year, but now we are learning the rules for how and when to use them. Important Dates: 5/1: Language Usage Map Test 5/3: Hot lunch @ Concordia 5/7: Math Map test 5/9: Reading Map test
