There is no school on Friday, May 5th. I will be gone on May 4th and May 8th. Mr. Woods will be our guest teacher.
The last book order is due on May 11th.
I will be sending the permission slip and sack lunch slip home for our upcoming field trip to Riverfront Park on May 26th. Your child will also need to bring $2.00 to purchase a Snowie shaved ice. If you are unable to send $2.00 please let me know and we can work something out. Also, please let me know if you would like to volunteer to help out with the field trip.
It's assessment time again. Please make sure your kids get some good sleep. Testing is exhausting! This week we will be completing the FASTBridge assessments for math and reading.
We will still be doing whole group reading, but will not be having reading groups due to testing. Our essential question this week is, "Who helps you?"
We are knee deep in animal research and will begin writing.
In math, we are moving on to geometry. We will start with 2-D shapes and move on to 3-D shapes. We will be learning about the defining attributes of the shapes (sides, vertices, open, closed). We will also squeeze in a few fraction lessons while learning about shapes.

The last book order will be going home in Wednesday folders. Book orders are due on May 11th. I can't believe it's almost May.
Our essential reading question is, "How can we work together to make our lives better?"
I am so excited for writing the next few weeks! We are starting animal reports. We will be using Pebble Go to research animals. The students will be working on taking notes and writing complete sentences. This is one of my favorite projects!
In math, we are continuing to work with money. Last week we learned about pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. This week we will practice counting money and coming up with ways to make 25 cents. Students will need to be able to order, identify, and compare coins with in 25 cents. However, we will be challenging our brains and making larger amounts.
If weather permits, we will be doing our first grade field trip at Riverfront Park on Friday, May 26th form 9:30-1:00. If you are interested in helping, please make sure you have filled out a background check at the office and we have received it back. In the next week, you will be receiving a permission slip, packed lunch slip, and a Snowie Shaved Ice slip that will need to be returned.
On May 24th, we have field day in the morning. Mrs. Buss has a variety of games and stations that the kids will rotate through. This is also a great opportunity to volunteer and the kids have a great time.
Hope you have a great week!
