Tuesday, May 7th


Hi Parents! Thank you so much for all the warm welcomes I have received since being back at school. The kids have been wonderful and have had a great time filling me in about all the things they have learned since I left.

This week in math we are learning about place value.  We will be going up to the MILLIONS! Your student should be able to read, write, and identify numbers up to the millions place. You should be also seeing this in their homework this week.

In reading we are continuing to work on inferences.  Students are encouraged to "read between the lines" to find out what's happening or what is going to happen in their books.

In writing we have started researching different animals for animal reports! Each child has their own book at their reading level to use for research.  A few students have asked if they can also research at home on the Internet-- of course! The more facts they can collect, the better their report will be :) Once we've collected all our facts, we will begin drafting our reports.

In social studies we are continuing to learn about Maps.  The video attached is the students singing the Continentt songs :)We will be finishing this unit up very soon and moving onto learning about history.

FIELD TRIP TOMORROW-- SEND BOOSTER SEAT if your child is 7 years old!
We will be eating lunch at school so no need to worry about a sack lunch.

Homework Due Friday.
Greenfield Village Permission Slip due next Friday but I am accepting them at any time so please go ahead and send them in! Thanks!
