May 8-12, 2017 Week 35

Only 13 more days of school!  It's a bittersweet feeling because I am going to miss my kiddos so much! This is such a great class and I have enjoyed learning and watching them grow!  I am so sad but I also know we've worked very hard this year and deserve a break! I am proud of the boys and girls with the way they have bonded, loved and helped each other this year.  It's so sweet how we clap for each other's successes and care for one another.  We have made some lasting friendships! This class will always have a special place in my heart! 

We will read the same story "Mole and the Baby Bird".  It is animal fantasy because the characters are animals that talk.  We will read words with vowel patterns ou, ow; identify pronouns; draw conclusions; and practice Saxon Phonics.

In Math we will learn how to solve addition and subtraction facts; and work on related facts that are called fact families.  

6+8=14             14-8=6

8+6=14             14-6=8

In Science we will explore animals and environments.  We have been reading many books that show us how baby animals resemble their parents, and what the different kinds of animal habitats are.

In Social Studies we will review Goods and Services.  We will review and identify what is a good and a service.
