19 days left!!!!

It is so hard to believe that our countdown has finally reached the teens!  That means we have THREE full weeks left! Wow!

In these last weeks we will keep pushing.  We will still have our normal reading groups, stories and spelling tests. However, we have built in some time for fun and relaxing activities!

Soon your child will be invited to our "Beach Week"!  This will include a fun activity each day the week of May 13-17. In addition, our theme activities will center around the ocean and our writing activities will be beach/summer themed. Math that week will be all review from what we have learned this year with a fun beach twist. :)

Take a look at an outline of what we will be doing the remainder of the year...

April 29-May 3: Measurement, informational writing (Animal Research Books), types of energy,
Simple Machines (reading story).
*This week is our last week of RTI (afternoon reading groups).
