I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend! This week starts our second week of testing with the SBAC. We will be taking the english language arts performance test on Thursday.
Our weekly story this week is an expository nonfiction piece called Yippee Yay! by Gail Gibbons. It gives students a glimpse of what life was like as a cowboy going on a cattle drive in the old west. We will work on vocabulary specific to the story and other comprehension activities.
In math our study of fractions is building to addition and subtraction of fractions with the same denominator. Students have built an understanding of what equivalent fractions are and how to show them using various models.
For social studies, students are wrapping up their business team projects by performing their commercials for the class to enjoy. They did a wonderful job! We will be diving into our science unit on the survival of living things. I hope everyone has had the opportunity to plant their cabbages so they can see them grow! Don't forget that if you want additional information about the cabbages you can visit the website on the paper your child brought home.
For homework this week: students should complete the word study activities for their list of words. Please continue to read and work on flashcards!
