June Curriculum Update:
English Language Arts- We are in the middle of writing informational essays on chosen animals that we have done research on. We have been reviewing reading strategies like compare/contrast, fact and opinion, cause and effect, predicting, looking at context clues, and inferencing. In grammar we are learning about different parts of speech such as prepositions and adverbs, and we are learning about using commas and articles in our writing.
Math- We have been learning about time, and collecting data to create different types of graphs. We will be starting our unit on measurement at the beginning of June. Please make time to be practicing multiplication facts at home each night.
Science-We have been researching animals in writing 5 paragraph informational essays. We have also been partaking in science activities based on ecosystems/environments and animal evolution.
Technology- We have been using iReady to practice individualized instruction in both math and reading. We have also been practicing typing skills.
Things to remember daily:
1. Assignment book
2. Green communication folder
3. Homework and any notes from home
4. Water bottle and a snack
5. Sneakers on PE days (D) and library books on library days (C)
6. A mask and a back up in their backpack
It is important that each student takes responsibility for his and her learning. This means that they need to remember to bring their green folder and assignment book to and from school each day. This also means that they are expected to turn in their homework on time and completed.
