May 12th-15th

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:

• With the hot weather returning, make sure your child brings a water bottle to school so they do not miss class time to get a drink!
• There is no school this Friday, May 16th!
• Remind your child to turn in their timelines this Monday!
• We will be going to the Scholastic Book Fair tomorrow (Tuesday) so send money with your child if you would like them to purchase a book!

Weekly Objectives:

Writing:  This week we are continuing our unit on gripping fictional stories.  The students have been loving this unit so far!  This week we are going to work on building tension in our stories.  

Reading: During reader's workshop we are going to continue talking about the three levels that good readers use to question a text.  We are going to work on recognizing and using all three levels while we read.

Social Studies:  This week in social studies we are going to learn the difference between national, state, and religious holidays!

Math:  This week we will begin Chapter 26: Fractions.  We will begin comparing fractions!  

Have a great week!
