Writing:
This week, we will begin reading
classic fairytales. During this unit, students will hear
a variety of well-known fairytales and the adapted
versions of the fairytales—Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood
and the three Billy Goats Gruff. In class, we will be looking
at characteristics of this genre of
writing and work to create our own adapted versions
of them.
Math
We have just started our last Module of the year—Geometry and
Measurement! During this unit, students will be reviewing
polygons and attributes of polygons that they learned last year. We
will be taking it a step further by calculating area and perimeter
of regular and irregular polygons, as well as solving two-step
word problems related to polygons and their measurements. We
will be doing many hands on projects to help students apply
these learned skills to new situations.
Keep practicing those multiplication and division facts at home 
Does this look okay to you?
Muffins with Moms
On Friday, May 12th , we will be
having our Mother’s Day celebration
(Muffins with Moms) from 8:00-8:30
am in our classroom (room 261).
Come to school early with your child
and enjoy a muffin and time spent
with your child before starting your day! .
 Pioneers
We have just started our last social studies unit of the year—Pioneers. Students will be learning about life on the Oregon Trail through reading, writing and in-class projects.
On June 1st, we will be taking a field trip to Pioneer Farms so students can experience, first-hand, what life was like as a Pioneer. More information will be coming home in the next week or two. Please be on the look out!
May Book Talk: Historical Fiction
May will be our last month completing book talks.
This month, students will be reading a historical fiction
book and completing all the necessary components of
a book talk (the outline is posted on my website).
These will be due on Tuesday, May 23rd.
