We will be spending this week reviewing what we have learned this year. Students will be reviewing by playing math and reading games with a buddy, using the SMART board and using the Ipads. We will be reading books from our Superkids library as well as our classroom library and writing about them. For math students will be completing summer themed math activities to continue to work on fact families and place value. In science we will be talking about different habitats and students will finish up their animal books. It should be a fun last week of school.
Wednesday is our picnic to Wilson Park from 9:00-1:00.
Friday is the last day of school and dismissal will be at 10:30.

Week of May 26
Religion: This week we will be talking about ways we can share God's love with others.
Superkids: The students are learning about the hard/soft sounds of c and g. We will also be reading our final story in our reader. Students will then be reading other books from our Superkids and classroom libraries to continue to work on different comprehension skills.
Math: We ended last week by going outside to do math. The kids had a lot of fun racing to find the correct answer to the math problems. This week we will work on learning about probability, place value, and fact families.
Science: We are continuing to learn about animals and work on our animal books. This week we will be talking about animal features and habitats.

Week of May 19
Religion: This week we will continue talking about the Mass and the parts of the Mass. We will also discuss how we can share God's love with others.
Superkids: Students will be reading a mystery in our readers and discussing the problem and solution. We will continue working with our pattern and memory words.
Math: This week we will be working more on subtraction facts. Students will learn about subtracting 2-digit numbers, temperature, and probability. Hopefully the weather will be nice and we can take our math class outside for some outdoor math fun.
Science: Students will be learning about the life cycle of animals this week. We will be adding more pages to our animal book.

Week of May 12
Religion: We will be talking about the Eucharist and parts of the mass.
Superkids: This week we will be starting our last book. Students will be working on words that have oo in them. We will be reading our next Super Duper magazine on friends. We will also work in small groups to review spelling strategies and comprehension strategies.
Math: This week we will be work more with subtraction facts, geometric solids (rectangular prisms), and identifying and counting money.
Science: Students are continuing to work on classifying animals. We have talked about vertebrates and invertebrates. Last week we sorted animals into mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. This week we will be looking at invertebrates more. We will also talk about life cycles. In our innovation lab we will be finishing up our worm experiments.

Week of May 5
Religion: We will be continuing to talk about how God will always forgive us. We will also complete an art project for Mary. This week students will also begin learning about the Eucharist.
Superkids: We will be working on words with the letters ow and ou this week. Students will also be reading more stories in our reader. We will be talking about identifying a story's lesson, summarizing stories and cause and effect.
Math: Students will be working more with learning their facts using manipulatives, the Ipad/SMART board, and games. We will also learn about polygons this week and students will use the geoboard app on the Ipads to create polygons. Students will also identify patterns on a hundred chart and then create their own patterns on a hundred chart that other students will then have to guess their pattern.
Science: We are working on our Creature Feature inquiry unit. Students have started learning about the different features of animals. We will be going back to the computer lab this week to create a new animal. This week we will begin learning about mammals, reptiles, fish, birds, and amphibians and classifying different animals as one of these. In our innovation lab we will be working more with our worms and completing different experiments with them.
Social Studies: Students are working on constructing a building for our community.
Writing: Students will be creating biopoems about themselves and then we will use the computer lab to also create wordles to go along with our biopoems.

I hope everyone had an excellent break! This week we will be getting back into our class routine.
Religion: We will be discussing forgiveness this week. Students will also learn more about the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation.
Superkids: Students will continue to work with our pattern words for this unit. We will also be reading two more stories in our readers. We will also work on comparing and contrasting stories, sequencing events, and main idea.
Math: This week in math students will be graphing data on a bar graph, measuring and drawing line segments to the nearest centimeter, identifying cubes and cylinders and problem solving. Students will also create geometric solids using toothpicks and marshmallows.
Science: We are working on our Creature Features inquiry unit. Students will be reading books about animals. We will be discussing their various features and how they help that animal to survive. We will also be looking at the differences between mammals, reptiles, fish, birds, and amphibians.
Social Studies: We are finishing up our community inquiry unit by continuing to look at goods and services. Students will also be writing about a new business that they would like to see in the community. We will also begin constructing our own community.
