I can't believe it's already May. What. A. Year. Although this year felt and was different, I am so fortunate that I got to experience this year with your children. I am going to soak up every moment with them in this final month of school.
They're all ready for middle school, but I'm not ready for them to go. I'll miss them all so much.
Upcoming Events:
May 24th - Field Trip to Library
May 17th - Human Growth & Development (This happens at the end of the day. All 4th grade girls will be with me and all 4th grade boys will be with Mrs. Streck)
May 19th - 4th Grade Trip to RiverView Middle School
May 24th - Library Field Trip
May 28th - LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!
Reading: We are in our Historical Fiction unit! This unit allows all students to be apart of a book club that focuses on one historical time era. Each student submitted a recommendation of what time era and individuals they'd like in their group. All their recommendations were taken into consideration and they were placed in book clubs. So far, the book clubs are going great! Each club has taken over a space/bulletin board in the classroom where they proudly display their hard work, research, images, timelines, maps, and other artifacts that represent life during that time era.
Writing: We've entered our final unit of the school year - Historical Fiction. This writing unit coincides with our Historical Fiction book clubs in reading. Students are working hard at creating a historical fiction piece that takes place on the unit they are studying in reading. Out of all the units I've taught this year, working and reading students historical fiction pieces are by far my favorite. I am so impressed on their writing abilities and their creative ideas that stem from the history they learn!
Word Study: We are working our way through Unit 11. This unit has been very easy for all students as it focuses on contractions. We will continue working through this unit and take the test early next week!
Math: Students took their Unit 7 Math Test this Friday. It will be scored and returned to them on Monday for them to make corrections and ask any questions they have. We will then move into Unit 4 (Our last unit of the year!!)
Content: We've been on a pause from content over these past few weeks as our schedule has changed due to Forward test. This week we'll be back into our normal schedule and begin learning about the Early National Period & Republican Motherhood Treaty Era.
Enjoy your weekend! 😎
