We have been studying the water cycle. Here is a link to the youtube video/song that we have watched several times. I am sure your child will be able to sing along with it!

Week of May 19-23
Even though we only have a few weeks left, we are still busy learning! Here is what we are up to this week:
Math: Students will continue practicing using different multiplication strategies through games. We will also be studying fractions.
Literacy: We are deep into our author study of Nancy Carlson. Students have been pulling out the "strong feeling" from each story. We will continue that this week, along with focusing on one aspect of her writing craft.
Science: Students are beginning to learn about the water cycle. We will be watching a video, listening to a song, creating a diagram, and doing an experiment to further our knowledge of the water cycle.
Writing: Students have been working hard on their informational books and should finish them this week.
Reminders:
Fun Run on Friday!

Week of May 5 - 9
I hope everyone enjoyed the nice weekend! This week we have lots of new learning planned.
Math - We are learning different multiplication strategies. Students made a foldable including the strategies we learned and an example problem. We will continue to use these strategies to help our multiplication skills. Please continue to work on addition/subtraction facts at home as these are extremely useful in what we are learning.
Literacy - This week we will be kicking off an author study. Over the next few weeks, we will focus on books written by the wonderful author Nancy Carlson. We will be engaged in many different learning activities as we dive into her books.
Writing/Science/Social Studies - Students have finished researching their topics for their informational books. We are now starting to turn our research notes into a book. This process will take quite a bit of time. It is wonderful to see how excited students have been about learning more about their topics.
