Welcome to the month of May! I am hoping that temperatures start to match the time of year!  

We have Action Figure/Sci Fi Day on Thursday, May 4th. 
I will be out for a math conference on Thursday and Friday. The kids will be in good hands with Mr. Brien, but I will also be checking my email frequently so feel free to reach me that way if needed.



Curricular Updates

Reading - We will continue our series book clubs this week by learning as much as we can about characters across a series. Studying what characters do and say, as well as how they react to problems, tell us a lot about the characters.

Writing - We will finish up our informational writing unit this week and will begin opinion writing later this week.

Math - Unit 6 will wrap up this week. We will take the Unit 6 test on Wednesday. We will begin Unit 7 later this week.

  • In Unit 7, students will "... learn about arrays and equal shares and solve problems involving the addition and subtraction of lengths. Visual models and real world situations are used throughout the unit to help children understand important fraction and measurement concepts." (Math Expressions)

Content - Students loved making tops and looking at the spinning motion last week. We will continue our investigations on balance and motion this week by working with "spinners".  


Have a great week!
