May 13th to May 17th
Our school has organized a wonderful Book Angel Book Drive to collect books for schools in need. Students have been asked to bring in new or used books and the grade level with the most books collected will win a prize! The last day to donate books is Friday, May 17th. Thank you to all the students who already donated!
Happy Mother's Day!! I hope everyone has a great Sunday!
Please note that Friday, May 17th is an early dismissal day. Students will be dismissed at 11:00 a.m.
The Eighteenth Week of 2013 at School:
Science: Students should complete their insulator by Wednesday, May 15th. Check your child's binder for sheet which goes into more detail. An ice cube will be placed in each insulator and we will see which one takes the longest to melt!
Social Studies: We will continue the study of Egypt. Students will learn about what Egyptians believed happened in the afterlife.
Spelling: There will be no spelling this week.
Reading: We will finish the study of poetry. Then students will read "good fit books" while using various reading strategies. Finally, students will be creating their own "Jackdaw" on their book. This will require them to gather objects or draw pictures which will help others guess the plot of their story.
English: Students will receive a study guide for unit 5 on Monday. The unit 5 test will be on Friday, May 17th.
Math: We will continue the study of chapter 24 on dividing larger numbers. Look for a study guide to come home. There will be a test in the week of May 20th.
