Math:Starting Monday, May 14th your child will NOT have Math homework.
Social Studies:
We have begun to study for our Unit 3 assessment. Look for study guides to come home next week as well as the date of the assessment.
Science:
Students have been recording changes over the past week of their seeds and were surprised to see small sprouts, very curious about the seed coats, and now fascinated by the tiny leaves growing. From this experiment, we will explore the idea of a hydroponic (growing plants in water) garden to observe the life cycle of a bean plant.
Word Study and Grammar:
Reading:
This week we started our final unit where we are learning all about the elements of a MYSTERY. The students are reading a Cam Jansen mystery with their book clubs. They are learning about how the author develops the characters to leave you guessing. They are also learning about how to determine the clues in the story as well as foreshadowing. This is a fun unit and the students are really enjoying their Mysteries.

Writing:
We also started our final writing unit on Fairy Tales. The students will be writing their own adaptation of a popular Fairy Tale of their choice. This week we have been reading a lot of Fairy Tales along with an adaptation of that Fairy Tale and then comparing and contrasting them. They are also using these stories as Mentor Texts to help them with their own writing. They can't wait to get started on writing their own adaptive Fairy Tale.
