For the last remaining Wednesdays of the year, please just have your child read for 30 minutes. Choice Boards will no longer be sent home.

During this grading period, students will continue to practice their writing in a variety of ways as we review skills learned in the first semester. All student writing should include complete sentences with details using correct capitalization and punctuation.

We will especially focus on the following writing skills and different types of writing:

• Using Phonetic Strategies when Writing

• Friendly Letters

• Personal Narratives

• Expository/Writing a Report

• Retelling Stories in Writing

In Math, students will be moving into our last few units of the school year. Students will work with telling time and money. Students will review the parts of a clock and will learn to tell time to the nearest 5 minutes. Students will also work with coins to practice counting a collection of coins totaling up to $2. These are two really fun last units of the year, both with lots of hands-on practice, that students always seem to enjoy.

Students are working in our last few units of the year. In Social Studies, students are learning about numerous Famous Americans and the important contributions that they have made to our country. Students are also learning about some special holidays in the United States. In Science, students will work in our Plant Unit as they review the parts of a plant, needs of a plant, and why plants are important.
