Hello! I can’t believe we are in the last days of school...end of year testing, field trips, dress up days...where did this year go?!  This year flew by and as we begin doing our end of year testing it is so fun to see how much this class has grown.  There is so much to be proud of! 

Walking Field Trip May 31st: If you said you were able to join us as a chaperone you are more than welcome to come along.  We do not need to turn anyone away on this trip...the more the merrier!  If you can’t join us all day you are welcome to join us for lunch at the park.

Reading: We are ending the year with a unit on becoming lifelong readers.  We will be exploring what kind of books we like to read best and how we can continue our reading throughout the summer.  We will think of ways to make realistic goals for our reading and try some journaling.  I will also be assessing students reading levels to pass onto their second grade teachers.

Writing: We are finishing up our independent writing projects by teaching others about the genre that we have been studying.  We will teach the class the important things that they need to include in the their writing and have time each day to try out a different genre. 

Math: We are reviewing the math that we had done all school year.  We will play some review games and take our end of the year math test. 

Science: This week we will be exploring different topics in science each day.

Hello!  Here is a short video clip of some of the things we are working on this week.  It's also celebrate New Directions Week!  In our class we are celebrating being the boss of our reading.  On Friday we are hoping to have a class celebration.  If you are willing to send in a snack for the class (sweet, salty, or healthy!) please send me a email.  They have been working really hard to take charge of their reading with their goal setting and word solving skills.   It will be fun to celebrate! Celebrate New Directions Week Tuesday: FAMILY NIGHT CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER Wednesday: PJ Day Thursday: Active Wear and Family night 5:30-7:00 Friday: Dress Like Your Future Job and class celebration

Hello, So far the weather looks good for our walking field trip! On Friday make sure students have comfortable walking shoes and are dressing for the weather. It is a fun field trip to end our year! This week I will start collecting all of the books that have been sent home. If you could please check around the house for books that were sent from school, that’d be very helpful. I will not be sending home reading or math homework for the remainder of the year, the homework will be to check for those missing books! Thanks!
