May 7 - 11

The year is quickly winding down, but we are going to keep working hard and stay as busy as we can to help us stay focused through the last couple of weeks of school.

Here are the plans for the week:
Reading-- We will complete our chapter books that we have been reading in groups. We will be working on monitoring understanding, as well, as reviewing previous strategies that we have learned.

Spelling--
This is the LAST week of spelling!!  The pattern for the Rigby list this week is pronouns.  The Rigby words are bone, how, cookies, goes, half, whoever, himself, danger, join, them, who, ache, anybody, aunt & itself.  The Extension list is the suffix pattern "-ance, ence" which means 'state or quality of'. The Extension words are tolerance, radiance, perseverance, patience, elegance, dominance, diligence, defiance, convenience & annoyance.The test will be on Friday.

Math--Our perimeter unit went very quick and we will spend the rest of the year learning about area. We will also do some graphing before the year is over.

Science-- SCIENCE FAIR-- this Friday from 2:00-3:30. Parents are welcome to come by and check out all the experiments our students have been working so hard on.

The students have done a great job working on "the parts" of their Science Fair Project. Every thing should be turned in by today. I will accept late work through tomorrow because we will be assembling our Science Fair boards today and tomorrow afternoon in class.

Reminder- The board your child is using cost $1.50.
