Miss Pellin's Post
May 21st to May 25th 
Students will meet their second grade pen pals on May 24th. The third grade students will be able to tell the second grade students all about Prairieview!
All books are due to the library on Wednesday, May 23rd.
Over the summer, it is very important that students continue to read! I have created a blog where students can write responses about the books they are reading. They can also see the books their friends have enjoyed. My first post gives ideas on possible responses. The reading responses should be around 5 sentences and should include information about the book they read. They can find the blog at http://kidblog.org/MissPellinsClass/author/mpellin/. In order to use the blog students simply click on the down arrow button and find their name. Then they can enter the password I have already given them.
There will be a P.E. test on Thursday, May 24th. Students will receive study guides on Monday, May 21st.
The Eighteenth Week of 2012 at School:
Science: We will finish our unit on heat, light, and sound (chapter 14). Students will have a chapter 14 test on Friday, May 25th. They will receive a study guide on Monday, May 21st.
Social Studies: We will continue the study of ancient Egypt. Students will learn about the pyramids.
Spelling: We have taken our last spelling test. We will not have spelling for the rest of the year.
Reading: Students are creating their own Jackdaw on a good fit book of their choice. A jackdaw is a bird that gathers things for its nest. The students are gathering things from their book. This will require them to draw objects from their books which will help others guess what the plot of their story is. They will also need to write a summary on their story. Students will present their Jackdaw to the class on Thursday, May 24th or Friday, May 25th.
English: This week students will work on their expository paper. We will also continue the study of pronouns. There will be a pronoun test in the week of May 28th. Look for a study guide to come home.
Math: We will finish the study of chapter 24 on dividing larger numbers. There will be a chapter 24 test on Tuesday, May 22nd. Then we will work on solving various word problems.
Things to Remember:
Tuesday 5/22: There will be a math test.
Wednesday 5/23: All library books are due.
Thursday 5/24: The second grade pen pals will visit! Students will present their Jackdaws. There will be a P.E. test.
