Upcoming Events:
5/15: Field Trip: Building For Kids
5/24-5/27: No School for Students
5/31: Field Trip: Walking trip around town  Permission slip will be coming this week

Reading: This week in reading we are continuing our non-fiction book clubs.  We will be choosing books  within the same topic. That way students can start comparing the information they are learning and seeing what is the same and what is different.

Writing: The students have been really enjoying our writing project unit. This week we will be talking about how authors within your publishing house can be a great tool to use to help make your writing the best it can be. We will also talk about how mentor authors can do the same thing. Students will start noticing strategies that they are using and thinking about what they are becoming experts on.

Math: In math this week we will continue to study shapes and patterns.  We will identify and compose 3-Dimensional shapes and use them to make a composite shape.  We will end the week with some measuring and comparing lengths.

Social Studies: This week we will begin our Community centers.  We will design maps, study community helpers, build a community, use technology to research, and read books.

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! Upcoming Events: 5/29: Dress like an animal or bring in your favorite stuffed animal 5/30: Dress like you’re going on a vacation 5/31: Enjoy yourself-- dress in something you love 5/31: Field Trip: Walking trip around Kaukauna 6/3: Dress like a character from a fairy tale 6/4: Field Day, dress active for field day 6/5: NDLC wear or neon day 6/5: Early Release: Last Day of School Reading: This week we will be talking about who our reading partners can be
