This Week We read the story, “At Home in the Coral
Reef,” in Literacy and did a lot of productive work in our new centers. We completed Unit 6 in Math (working with
decimals in relation to fractions) and took our assessment. We worked on completing our bird projects and
super hero stories. Most of the students
have finished typing and are waiting to be edited and formatted for
publishing. Before we leave for
vacation, we will paint some papers for our super hero book covers. We also got to test seed germination rates
for some old seeds, which was fun to do.
We also studied landforms and natural features and created a picture
dictionary. We also practice our NH Cups
song…and it is almost ready to be made into a music video!
Next
Week (After
vacation) We will read the story, “Adelina’s Whales,” in Literacy. We will begin studying Measurement in Math –
which is full of important, essential life skills. Along with working on measuring length,
perimeter, area, we will also work on converting units within the same type of
measurement – and that will be difficult.
We are looking forward to National Park Project Day on Thursday, May 1. Everyone will get to present their at-home
projects and we are excited to learn about all the great parks!
