Happy Spring!!
I am so ready for nicer weather! I think the kids are ready too!
We have a busy week ahead of us.
In math for the week, we are going to work on finding the area of triangles, as well as surface area of cubes and rectangular prisms. This is a fun unit as we are moving around the room and doing more hands on learning (Which I LOVE).
For reading, we just wrapped up our Timelines and will move on to reading short passages, folk tales and fairytales.
We took our Social Studies test for Chapter 4 and will move on to the Thirteen Colonies. We will do a project to help us learn about the different colonies and how they impacted what the United States is like today.
The end of the quarter is next week (Friday), which means report cards will be sent home. You can probably expect similar grades from conferences.  Please make sure your child is reading so they can accomplish their AR goal. We will have a class party if ALL students make their goal.
We switched up our daily schedule. Students will have a half hour of Grammar/Writing, Science and Social Studies 4 days a week. This way, we have our kiddos at the end of the day for easier transition. You can check out the daily schedule on my class website.
I sent home permissions slips for a few field trips coming up. This Friday, we will be going to the High School for a Vocalmotive performance. This is so cool to watch!! Next Friday, we will go the the High School again for an Orchestra performance. These are really neat opportunities for students to see what is available to them when they get older.
Have a great week!
