Hello Families! I hope everyone had a great Spring Break and are enjoying the warmer weather!
Class News: We had a wonderful week back! Author Marcia Diane Arnold visited Tonawanda and helped us to think of new and exciting ways to think of story ideas and write them on paper.We celebrated Earth Day on Wednesday. We all brainstormed ways that we can help the Earth at school and home. Every child took home two recycled strips of paper. They are to write down on each strip, one thing they did to help the Earth. The strips should be returned to school as we will create a save the Earth chain. The results of the Cogats testing your child participated in will be delivered to you next week.
Writing: We continue to write many varieties of poetry and use various elements. Ask your child what Alliteration and Onomatopoeia are. Remember our poetry Cafe is next Friday at 11:15am. Families are invited.
Reading: We have been reading published poems and getting ideas for our own poems. The kids have all chosen a favorite poem to practice reciting for our Poem in My Pocket Day (next Thursday). Your child should be bringing home their copied poem today to practice.
Math: We continue to learn about Money and Place Value. Again, this is a challenging unit, but everyone is doing a great job working hard and learning. We will have our test in the middle of next week.
Science: We are currently studying air and weather. Ask your child how to submerge a paper towel in a vial in a tub of water without getting it wet. We also made parachutes and observed their motion outside as they fell.
Social Studies: We are studying rural, suburban and urban communities. Your child has brought home information on the last project of the year. Every child will chose a community and create a model.
Reminders: Scholastic Orders were due today. You can still order online through this weekend.
