Week of April 22nd - April 26th
Reading - Last week we finished reading Charlotte's Web. Students will be working on a small cumulative assignment to wrap up the study of this novel. We will also work on reviewing various reading strategies that we have learned throughout the year to help us with our comprehension while reading fiction.
Writing - Students will be reviewing how to write a proper summary of a text. Afterwards, they will be working on writing a summary of Charlotte's Web.
Math - We are studying measurement this week. Students are learning how to tell time to the nearest minute and in different ways (such as a quarter to 4, half past 3, etc). Students are also learning about elapsed time.
Science - This week we are continuing our study of plant adaptations.
Social Studies - We are continuing our study of financial literacy. Students are also learning about Earth Day and what we can do as citizens to help keep our Earth beautiful!
Homework Reminders:
Dismissal - If your after school dismissal plan changes, please notify the front office as soon as possible, so that they can communicate the change to me. You may also email me.
Absences - If your son or daughter is absent, please send a note when he or she returns to school. You may also call, email me, or use the on-line absence form found on the home page of the Caraway Elementary website.
