Families,

I feel like a broken record saying this, but I really cannot believe how quickly this year is flying by! May seemed so far away, yet here we are :). Take a look below at some reminders and what we’re learning next week:

Reminders/Dates:

• Tuesday, May 9th: Book Fair Preview
• Wednesday, May 10th: Book Fair “Buy Day”
• Friday, May 12th: Student Early Release Day
• Friday, May 12th: Zoo Money and Parent Slip DUE
• Friday, May 26th: Alward Spirit/Popcorn Friday
• Monday, May 29th: NO SCHOOL (Memorial Day)
• Wednesday, May 31st: Field Trip to John Ball Zoo

Reading: We will focus on retelling and even how to think “beyond the text” to answer questions, analyze, and make connections!

Writing: We will continue looking at Mo Willems as an author and try adding speech bubbles, bold words, and humor into our writing. We will also review the 3 W’s (who, where, what).

Math: We will continue working through Unit 8 and different strategies to help us solve 2-digit addition problems (ex: 43 + 39).

Spelling: We will be taking a spelling test, completing a sentence dictation, and doing an activity with short and long vowels.
