Hello Parents and Students!
I can't believe it, but there are only 6 days of school left this year! This will be the last blog update for the year!
Here are the reminders for this week:
The Naperville Public Library will be coming to school to present their summer program on Tuesday.
The last day of school will be next Monday, June 8th. It is a full day of school. It is also field day.
Here's what's going on this week in the curricular areas:
Word Study: There is no list this week. We will be having a spelling bee on Friday on commonly misspelled words. This is just for fun!
Math Accel: We will finish Unit 7 on Monday. Our last lesson will be on percent/circle graphs. We will review on Tuesday and our test will be on Wednesday.
English Language Arts (ELA): We will finish up our anchor text, Maniac Magee. We will also finish presenting our Constitution/Westward Movement/Slavery foldables. Some students will finish presenting their Writer's Workshop projects while others continue to finish them up. We will also be meeting with our Kindergarten Buddies for the last time this year on Friday.
Science: We finished our last science unit this past week. We looked at protozoa under the microscope. It was interesting to compare the paramecium, amoeba and euglena under the microscope. The kids loved this unit!
Social Studies: We will continue to study the Civil War this week. Our topics will include resisting slavery, the struggle over slavery, early stages of war, life during the war and how the North won.
That is it for the year!
Please email me with any questions.
Have a great summer!
