Announcements:
Thank you for all the teacher love this week! I am SO spoiled, in what other career do you get to do what you love, have fun ALL DAY LONG, and get spoiled for an ENTIRE WEEK? You all made me feel so special this week, every card full of heart felt messages and secret codes that I had to crack made me teary eyed. I am one lucky girl, please know that I do not take that for granted. I am so lucky to work at a school with so much parent support!
DIBELS - This week Mrs. Smith and I got to sit down and hear each student read to us individually. Their scores are then compared to how they read at the beginning of the year, and man, am I blown away at the growth! Stay tuned for an email about your child's specific growth!
Mothers Day - You're invited to Muffins with Mom! We would love to see you, spoil you, and spend some time with you on Friday, May 19th at 8:15! Please sign up here if you're able to come!
A-Z Countdown:
L (Mon) - Lunch with the teacher day! On Monday students will eat with me!

Language arts: Students will finish publishing a super secret project in grammar! In literature we will read chapters 9 and 10 in Little House in the Big Woods. We will journey with the Ingalls family as summertime comes. We will learn how they collect honey and make cheese!
Math: We will review again next week, spending time on money, fractions, time, and graphs! Scholars have done such great work this year! These review weeks are so encouraging because we see so much growth!
Science: We will learn about cells, and make our very own cell on a sugar cookie!
History: We will review important topics from our civil war unit. We will discuss the importance of Harriet B. Stowe, Harriet Tubman, Abraham Lincoln, and Generals Lee and Grant! We will then introduce an exciting unit on early immigration in the U.S.! I encourage you to share with your children family stories about coming to the "melting pot"! Every year, this topic in history provides for some interesting conversation! :]
