"If April showers should come your way, they bring the flowers that bloom in May."
Five more days until vacation!! Yippee! We began our week with a vocabulary review. Students read The Albertosaurus Mystery in partners and then practiced summarizing the informational text. This will be our final Anchor Text until we return to school in May. I'm so proud of how far my students have come in reading since the school year began in August. :)
Our PEA Reading Buddies joined us on this rainy morning. We read The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses in partners or small groups. This tale is an introduction to our Native American Unit that we will begin after vacation. Some students who finished early sketched a picture of their favorite scene from the story with their PEA buddy.
Students will have spelling homework on Monday and Tuesday evenings. The test will be given on Wednesday. We won't begin a new lesson until we return from vacation.
We will complete Unit 7 in math this week. Students will solve fraction number stories and name fractions of sets of objects. We will review for the test on Wednesday and then the assessment will be given the following day. Students will have a Home Link on Monday and Tuesday evenings and a review packet to practice on Wednesday. Students will have a challenge activity on Thursday, but this will be an optional assignment for those who'd like to earn a prize. We will begin Unit 8 when we return from vacation.
Students continue to work on their Invention PBL experience. This week they will make a final decision on the invention that they want to study and research. Please discuss this informative and fun project with your student at home.
Have a wonderful week and a great vacation! :)
