Homework: Please see the timeline homework. This assignment will
be due June 3rd. Your support is greatly appreciated for this project.
The reading log and math packet are due on Friday. Please return them in the
yellow folder. Please make sure you sign your child’s reading log.
Language Arts: We will be working with au/aw words in our word
work. The children are having fun
showing their learning of the continents. In writing we will continue our
opinion work. We will also start a piece on where is a fun place to go in
Shrewsbury.
Mathematics: We are working on chapter 17 on graphs and line plots
this week. Please read the School to Home Connection on this chapter. The
students will be answering questions about picture graphs and will be creating
picture graphs. Students will learn that reading the key to find out how much
the symbol is worth is very important.
Social Studies: Students will continue to work together to make a
project that helps others learn about the continent they studied. We will begin
to study timelines.
Science: The
students really enjoyed the presentation from the Museum of Science on the
states of matter. Hopefully you saw on your child’s reflection what their
learned from the program.
Cursive: We are working on our kite string letters.
Ways you can help at home: Show your child
graphs that you find as you are reading. Together create a picture graph of
your child’s toys or crafts. Look for au/aw words in books. Begin to look
through pictures or talk about important dates in your child’s life for the
timeline project. Write an opinion piece with your child. Talk about the
reasons for your opinion on various topics. Ask your child to give you his or
her opinion and the reasons why he or she feels that way.
