Field Day Info

Please review the message below from Mrs. Taylor regarding Field Day.

Field Day is this Friday 5/29!

Visitors do not need to sign in at the front office. Please enter through the main entrance and continue through the doors to the playground, where you will find our Field Day sign-in table.

For safety and supervision, siblings must remain with a parent or guardian at all times. Field Day stations are reserved for Lake Myra students in the scheduled grade levels only, and siblings may not participate in activities.

Please remember that this is a school event so school-appropriate attire is still expected. Bathing suits should not be worn. Swim shirts and shorts are acceptable. We also recommend bringing a towel and a change of clothes. Sneakers are strongly recommended for safety during activities.

Students should bring a water bottle with their name CLEARLY labeled.

At the conclusion of Field Day, parents may sign their child out directly with their teacher. Any siblings remaining on campus must continue to stay with their parent or guardian at all times.

There are still spots to sign up to run a station!

These Sign Ups are for family members who would like to run a station for 90 minutes.

Our Learning

MATH

This week students will begin working on a summative assessment required by the state of North Carolina. This assessment is given in small chunks from now until the end of the school year. Review is provided before each part is given to allow students to show their sucess. Students will also be completing the Number Knowledge test this week. This measures student's early number concepts.

Watch here for more information on Unit 6.

At home, students can practice putting two numbers together (adding) and taking them apart (subtracting). Students may do this drawing pictures, using manipulatives, using a number line and/or using their fingers. Students can also watch the following videos for fun ways to practice addition and subtration!

Add with a Pirate

Subtract with a Pirate

Have students count to 100 or beyond. By the end of the 4th quarter, students need to count to 100, students must count through the decades (20,30,40, 50,60, etc.) without hesitating to be considered proficient.

SCIENCE

In Science, students will begin a unit on living and non-living things. We will explore the characteristics that make something living and non-living. The characteristics we will focus on for living are; it moves/grows, breathes air, needs food and water. For non-living we describe this as something that has never been alive.

SOCIAL STUDIES

___________

PHONICS & LANGUAGE COMPREHENSION

Students will be working on blending simple CVC words from the a, e, i, o and u word families.

At home students can practice blending words together when they come across a word they don't know. Students can also use the videos below for practice.

CVC Blending Practice

CVC Blending Practice 2

For reading comprehension students will begin a book about how families have shared values. Students will use this book to understand the main topic and describe key details.

WRITING

Students will be writing an informational piece based on research we've done together as a class. Students must write a topic sentence and 2 facts about the topic.

At home have students practice writing the sounds they hear In words- even if the spelling is incorrect. For example If they are writing "hair" they might spell it "har". We have not learned all of these spelling patterns or sounds yet so spelling does not need to be correct. Encourage students to write their thoughts in complete sentences using a capital at the beginning, spaces between their words and punctuation on the end.

LEADER IN ME

Students will be hosting community leaders this week to share how we use the habits at school!
