We're close. I can't really believe it. This will be the final blog post of the year. Here's the latest...
*Please note that Round up is Thursday night from 7-8. Please try your best to come and see our beautiful room and all the hard work your children have put in to the school year. I hope to see you all then. Math We will be wrapping up our unit on double digit addition this week. We will have our final assessment on Friday. The last week of school will be dedicated to learning more about coins and money. Science/Social Studies Students will be wrapping up their unit on plant and animal adaptations this week. Our room is sprouting and smells a bit like dirt! Language We will review many of the tools and strategies that we have learned over the course of the year in whole group and in guided reading groups. Word work It has come. The big finale. The word wall end of year assessment. I will send home a master list of all the word walls on Tuesday so kids can study at home. There will be at least 25 words on the exam (maybe more, not sure at the moment). Writer's Workshop Our animal research books are almost finished. Students have been working very hard to get them done before Round Up. I'm very proud of their work. We will have a publishing party on Thursday. The final week will be dedicated to a Father's Day project. Miscellaneous -Aiza Khan, Benji Pearl, and Audrey Storck will all celebrate their summer birthday's during the final week of school. It's been a fabulous year. Thank you so very much for all your support you have given to your child this year. They have all made such growth both academically and personally (they got big!) My room is always open if they ever want to pop in and say 'hi'. That is all. ~Mr. Layes
