| Dear Parents,
As always, I appreciate your time in working with your child on the
nightly reading and other homework that is assigned, including preparation
for tests.
In Language Arts, we are currently taking our last Unit test. We
will be having our last spelling test on Friday, May 30th.
In Math, we are testing Chapter 10: Working with numbers to 1,000
on Wednesday, May 28th. The practice test was sent home on Tuesday.
In Social Studies, we are discussing the differences between
producers and consumers and goods and services. A test will be on May
29th.
Your child may be coming home with a math "Problem of the Day."
If so, they need to be ready to "teach" this problem to the class the
following day in math class, acting as "teacher" for the moment. They are
really excited for this opportunity!
The LAST book order of the year is due May 12th.
Suggestions for Choosing Books:
Author and series
Favorite genre, hobbies, etc.
Award winners
Newspapers and magazines
Recommendations from teachers or friends
Try a type that you have never read before
Reread a favorite!
The "five finger" rule helps students find "just right" books.
Students read a page of the text and hold up a finger for each word that
they do not know. If they have five fingers up before they finish the page,
that book is probably too hard for independent reading.
Boxes of tissues for our classroom are always appreciated!!!
Thank you!!! Please call with any questions.
