Miss Pellin's Post
May 16th to May 20th
Classroom Library Volunteer: Are there parents who would be interested in helping me out by classifying my library? This will help students find good fit books based on their letter for Fountas and Pinnell. I'd like a parent to find the "F & P" level for each book and mark them accordingly. If you could give up a little of your time, maybe one morning or afternoon a week, I would greatly appreciate it! Email me if you are interested. You would be trained. :) Thank you to Mrs. Harvat for already leveling some of the books in our classroom library!
The Thirty-Sixth Week at School:
Science: We will continue the study of ecosystems in chapter 4. Students will study chapter 4, lesson 2 on types of ecosystems. Students will continue to work on their ecosystem and rock animal. Then we will read chapter 4, lesson 3 on how living things survive in ecosystems.
Spelling: Students will receive a new spelling list and 6 activities sheet. The 6 activities will be due on Friday, May 27th. They will take their test on Friday, May 27th, as well.
ELA: This past week the students have been learning about plot elements such as exposition, rising actions, climax, falling actions, and resolution. They will use these plot elements to help develop a sequel to The One and Only Ivan. In addition, students will complete RAZ kids each day. During Daily 5, I will give each student a short quiz after reading a good fit passage from RAZ kids. Students will also read good fit articles and work on identifying the main idea and supporting details.
Math: We will continue unit 7, module 2 on expressions and equations. Students should continue to complete Xtramath each night to practice their math facts.
Things to Remember:
Friday 5/27: There will be a spelling test and the 6 activities are due. The second grade pen pals will visit!
