The kiddos and I have started a count down. We have three Mondays's left which leaves us with 3 more weeks together. I'm sure they know the exact number of days with and without weekends but I am not that far yet. I am savoring the last days together! We take our last two map test this week, so this week is a rather lax week for us. Field trip information will go out next week. So, please be sure to check Tuesday Folders and the newsletter.
Memory Work: On May 10, they will recite refrain A from Goliath of Gath Refrain A: "He's big, he's scary He's ugly and he's scary. His ways are wicked and his words are rude. When he's through with you, There's nothing left to bury. He's six big cubits of attitude." Verse 1: His armor cost's a hundred pounds This monster man from Gath And you could fill his helmet up, And use it for a bath Verse 2: With nineteen pounds of deadly blade On a tree trunk for a spear, And shinguards made of solid bronze, He'll kick you through next year! Math: We finished the topic and have moved into the review stage. We started to review on Monday and took our math map test today. We will continue to review Wednesday and Thursday and take our test Friday. Time seems to still be a struggle for some friends, so we will continue to work on time as well. Reading: I decided to take a break from curriculum things since we are almost done with the book. Instead we worked on biographies, as we learned about them previously and we are getting ready to cover them again. Typically, with a writing assignment like this, the students are able to choose a person and research them. However, I decided to do something more simple, and have them interview their peers. To go along with the biographies, we will take turns drawing the people we interviewed, or I will have the students draw themselves. Along with the biographies we have started reading our book to wrap up the school year. After a certain amount of chapters, we answer discussion questions. We also spent some time watching videos and reading articles about the Berlin Wall and what is meant to Germany and why it is important that the wall went down. The students seem to love the book, but some of the girls do think the book is very sad. Science: We have wrapped up chapter 10, and just like math, we are moving into reviewing for the test. We will go over the practice test question answers, and began to create study guide to help them. We always play a review game the day before, so that we can prepare. I always ask them questions off of the test, with a little switch in the wording so they are never surprised. The science test will be Friday. Important Dates: 5/9: Reading Map Test 5/17: Musical 5/17: Hot Lunch at Concordia
