April 10th-13th

Hello Families of Room 2!
Listed below are the important reminders and objectives for our week.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks!

Important Reminders:
  • Please remind your child to turn in their March reading log!
  • Scholastic book orders are due this Thursday!
  • A couple weeks ago I sent an email regarding a MAP snack that our class will be having throughout our MAP testing weeks.  If you could, please send in some type of snack that we can mix together to create a "trail mix".  The email also talked about sending in a letter of encouragement for me to give to your child the day we start testing.  Please send those items in sometime this week.  Thanks in advance!
  • We do not have school this Friday!
  • MAP Testing Dates:  Our class will be MAP testing on the following dates and times, please try to avoid scheduling appointments during these times.  
    • April 17th-19th (in the afternoon)
    • April 27th-28th (in the morning)

Weekly Objectives:

Writing:  For the next few weeks, we will be spending time reviewing for the upcoming MAP test!  This week we will focus on reviewing the different elements of our writing that we have learned this year.  This will include reviewing introductions, conclusions, transitions, and addressing the audience. 

Reading: During reader's workshop we will also be working on reviewing key concepts that we have learned this year!  This week we will focus on the importance of understanding theme and the viewpoint of multiple characters in a story.

Math: This week we will begin CHapter 14: Geometry.  We will be focusing on angles, polygons, triangles, and quadrilaterals.

Science: This week we will continue Chapter 8: Matter.  We will focus on the ways we can measure volume and mass.  Our test for this chapter will be this Thursday!

*In order to cover all of the important math chapters before the MAP test, for the next few weeks spelling will be put on hold.  We are going to take our normal spelling time to do some extra math work.  This week we will review perimeter and area to make sure we fully understand this important concept!


Have a great week!
