Week of April 21st

Math: We'll be continuing with more complex adding and trying strategies we've learned this year, but adjusting them to help us add higher numbers. We'll be using our make ten and using models techniques to help us!

Reading: We'll learn about what reducing, reusing, and recycling means before reading sentences to decide which category they go in to help our understanding of what we're reading. We'll also work on reviewing and making our own rhymes!

Spelling: Our spelling focus will be words with long /u/ with the /ew/ or /ue/ spellings. This focus will last us this week AND next week.

Writing: Since we've decided on our topics for our books we'll begin our research with library books and drawing a digram of our subject with labels.

Social Studies: We will celebrate Earth day by thinking and writing about ways we can be kind to the only home we have- Earth! We'll also learn about the parts of a plant before planting our own seeds.

Spelling Words: Because of the two shortened weeks coming up, we will share the same spelling focus for the two weeks. The pre-test will be on 4/14 and the test will be on 4/25. I will send home the words for the students as usual on Monday giving the students the full two weeks to review if needed.

STEAM Camp: Registration has begun for our third year of STEAM camp. This is our third year and it will be two full weeks M-F 9am-3 pm of science, art, and technology exploration! It is always a fun and collaborative experience for potty trained incoming pre-k 4 students all the way to 6th grade. It will run the week of June 9th and June 16th. For more information please e-mail Mrs. Letsos as aletsos@koraes.org.
