Week 37

Only two more weeks! We're done with DIBELS, took our last Singapore test, and this week we will be taking our end of year Galileo assessment! This will be on Thursday, and we will take both the Math and English Language Arts tests. Please give your child a hearty breakfast and pack a fortifying snack!

Here's what's happening the rest of the week:

Literature: We finished Little House in the Big Woods, so we will wrap up our lap books and do some readers' theaters this week! We will also begin book report presentations!

Spalding: 29 words this week - test on Friday! 

Monday: enclose, await, suppose, wonderful, forward, backward, toward, although, prompt, attempt
Tuesday: who, who's (who is), whose, statement, state, perhaps, their, they, imprison
Wednesday: written, writ, arrange, ankle, appears, bracelet, brace, breathe, breath, calm

Writing/Grammar: We're finishing up our letters to the future second graders. This week we will edit them and then write the final draft on nice stationary to give them.

Math: This week we're studying geometry. We will be counting faces, vertices, and edges on different 3-D shapes.

History: In History, we're finishing up the year by studying Civil Rights leaders. This week we will learn about Susan B. Anthony, Mary McLeod Bethune, Eleanor Roosevelt, Jackie Robinson, Rosa Parks, and Martin Luther King, Jr.!

Science: We have some fun things planned for Science this week. I stocked up on Peeps when they were on sale, so we will be doing some STEM projects with them. :) We will figure out how to create a peep catapult launcher and a peep puff mobile!

Poem: We will recite "Harriet Tubman" this week.

Miscellaneous: On Wednesday, our special is P.E., so be sure to pack/wear athletic shoes!

Have a great week! :)
