April 7th- April 11th

Dear Families of Room 11,
Listed below are the important reminders and objectives for our week.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks!

Important Reminders:

• Dress in your Cardinal's gear this Monday the 7th to celebrate Opening Day and this Friday the 11th for an assembly!
• Students that ordered a Circus Shirt are asked to wear those on Wednesday during school as well as at the performance.  The Circus performance is at 6 p.m. on Wednesday!

Weekly Objectives:

Writing:  During writer's workshop this week we are going to continue our unit on Poetry.  Students are going to work on using comparisons to clarify our feelings and ideas!

Reading: During reader's workshop we are going to continue talking about the three levels that good readers use to question a text.  The third level that we will focus on this week is "Thinking About a Text".  Students will think about the purpose of the author's writing as we look closely at poetry.

Science:  We are going to continue studying earth's materials.  This week we will describe the ways we can protect the earth's environment!

Math:  On Friday we are going to have our Chapter 18 test on Plane Shapes.  Discuss the characteristics of a square, rectangle, triangle, hexagon, trapezoid, parallelogram, and circle in order to review.  Be on the lookout for the extra practice sheet that will be coming home Thursday!  

Have a great week!
