April Has Come!!!...and is Almost Gone Already!?!

Thank you to those who helped out with our field trip and for contributing to our class basket for the upcoming Carnival this Friday (5:30-9:00pm)!

***Sometimes, as the school year comes to an end, an increase in student behavior occurs. As a reminder, our classroom consequences may include: completing laps at recess; written or oral apologies; emails, agenda notes, or phone calls home; and sitting at another lunch table for a designated number of days.***

This is EGGI (Education Go Get It) Week.  We'll learn about and discuss communities, where we can find help and support, as well as many different college and career choices.  We also have special themes for each day this week:

Monday, April 22 -  “Your Future is Bright”  Wear bright colors and/or sunglasses (on your head).

Tuesday, April 23 -  “College is Toe-tally Cool" Wear crazy socks.

Wednesday, April 24 -  “Hats off to your Future” Wear your favorite hat.                      

Thursday, April 25 -  “Dress for Success” Wear an outfit that represents your future profession.

Friday, April 26 -  “Superheroes in School”  Wear your favorite superhero gear.  No masks, accessories, or toy weapons, PLEASE.   *School dress code and proper shoes still required.

Academically, we've began new learning topics and are also reviewing previously learned materials. We do have the STAAR coming up May 13th (math) and 14th (reading), so we are breaking the material into manageable, less stressful chunks so we feel more confident, recall our learning, and attack this thing head on. I also want the kiddos to have a solid foundation for next year's learning.

Math- Place Value, multiplication, division, and other review

Language Arts/Writing-  Thinking through questions and providing text evidence to support our answers and thinking, fiction and personal narratives, STAAR Review

Social Studies-  Culture, celebrations, and traditions

Science-  Adaptations, structures and functions of animals and plants that help them survive

PLEASE CONTINUE HELPING AND ENCOURAGING YOUR STUDENT TO PRACTICE MULTIPLICATION FACTS AND READING AT HOME. BELOW ARE SOME FLASHCARDS STUDENTS CAN USE TO REVIEW. :D
