We’re still collecting photos for our Closing Ceremonies on May 16th. If you have any pictures from activities at FES in past years, please send those in so we can include them on a slide show.
What will we be learning this week?
Reading: We have begun Theme 10, Work that Matters. Our reading strategy is visualizing. Our vocabulary words are contribute, police, volunteer, participate, influence, and emergency.
Writing: As we finish publishing our “All Abouts”, we will be moving on to persuasive writing.
Math: We are continuing our unit on double digit subtraction using multiple strategies. This is a tricky concept for many students, so any practice you can do with your child at home would be incredibly valuable. We will also be taking our FINAL Galileo Math Test on the 26th, 29th, and 30th. This computerized assessment will cover the standards that have been addressed throughout 3rd trimester.
Science: In honor of Earth Day on Monday, we have begun a unit on world habitats. We will be studying eight different habitats with a focus on the adaptations that plants and animals have made in order to survive in their environments.
Social Studies: Through our study of personal financial literacy, students are earning “money” in order to purchase an activity. This project reinforces the concepts of needs and wants, goods and services, and abundance and scarcity as it can apply to their own lives.
Word Study/Spelling: We will take our spelling test on plural words on Wednesday. We will also take a pretest on more examples of plural words that end with IES. We will be learning the rule that you drop the Y and add IES (ponIES, pennIES).
