Reading:

We have been working very hard on our book club books.  We were all just re-tested and trying out our new levels before summer.  These levels are very important to the students!  They love to see how the books change as they move through the levels.  Please keep reading over the summer!   By practicing their reading skills over the summer they will be able to maintain their level.

Math:

We spent the last weeks working on skip counting.  This can be a difficult task.  We really spent most of our time working on counting by 5’s and 2’s.  Please work on this at home some also!  They have been skip counting by 5’s to 100 and skip counting by 2’s to 10.  Ask them to show you what they have learned!

Science/SS

In Science they are discussing living and non-living things.  They are very excited because this will lead into an animal report!  In SS we just finished up our unit on People, Places, and Events.  We are now focusing our last unit on People and the Government.  We are excited to learn about all of this!
