Week of May 5-9

Happy Mother's Day! I hope all you mom's enjoyed a wonderful day with your families!

We had so much fun this week on the new playground! 

This week we have been reviewing the 7 Habits. We have learned about all of the 7 Habits and are now going back and diving in even deeper. The kiddos show a true understanding of these habits and it is so fun watching them apply them at school! This week, we reviewed putting first things first, seeking first to understand and being proactive.

Ms. Julie came in to speak to us about Kids Food Basket

In reading this week we reviewed the short vowels and the consonant blends we have learned: sh, ch, th, wh, ph, and the l and r blends. I am so excited about the amount of growth the kiddos have shown in reading!

Making our special Mother's Day gifts!

In writing this week we focused on editing our writing and cleaning it up to make it easier to read. We used our word wall tool to help us remember to write our words in a "snap." We also completed our 7th spelling test this year and the kiddos did awesome!

Writers hard at work.

In math this week we completed our Unit 4 test. Next week we will begin our last math unit of the year. We will be reviewing several math concepts we learned this year, including addition, subtraction, ten groups, shapes, word problems, etc.

In science this week we talked about our favorite thing to do on the playground and how we move about the playground. We also cam up with a question about motion we want to investigate! This week we will begin to explore some of those questions and see if we can answer them using the scientific method!

Notes/reminders:
