"Be like a flower and turn your face to the sun."
- Kahlil Gibran
It's so nice to return to school and see all of my wonderful students! We began our week with new vocabulary words and a spelling pretest. Our new Anchor story is an informational text titled A Tree is Growing. Our Essential Question involves finding differences among types of trees. This text fits perfectly with our next science unit involving biomes and life science.
Our PEA Reading Buddies visited us this morning as well. Students shared The Magic School Bus Gets Eaten with their partners. The story focuses on food chains and webs in our ecosystem. We only have two more weeks with our buddies. We'll enjoy every moment with them until then.
We will begin Unit 8 in math this week. Students will use rulers to measure to the nearest quarter inch, develop strategies for solving extended multiplication and division facts, find factors of counting numbers, and make sense of challenging problems. Students will have a Home Link each night for homework.
Our spelling lesson involved spelling the /k/ or /kw/ sounds. Students will have an assignment each night this week. The test will be given on Friday, May 4th.
Have a fantastic week! :)
