May 6, 2017

Happy Saturday! I hope that everyone's weekend is off to a wonderful start! It was another busy week in Room 118! The children continue to impress me with their hard work and focus! I look forward to another fabulous week ahead! :)

Biography Projects! 
Thank you SO much for all of your help and support with our biography projects! It was so wonderful to hear students share their enthusiasm and excitement for this activity! Students did a fantastic job of presenting their projects and all that they learned through their research! I am so proud of the effort and creativity put forth! Thank you so much for all of your help! 


















Literacy 
In Literacy we will be starting our sixth unit of stories, which will focus around the essential question, “How are traditions and celebrations important to our lives?” This week we will be reading the story, Just Like Josh Gibson by Angela Johnson. Through reading this story we will discuss the weekly question, “Why are sports important to our country?” This week we will also be reviewing the genre of Realistic Fiction and contractions. We will apply context clues while reading as well as explore the comprehension skills of comparing and contrasting and visualizing. 


The story we read this past week, The Signmaker's Assistant had a very important message and theme! Ask your child about our "paper experiment" and what we learned about the impact of our words and actions!


Math
This week we will begin our final math topic which will focus on time, graphs and data! 


Measuring Fun!
