Week of 5/13/13 - 5/17/13

Happy Mothers' Day to all my fabulous “Moms.” You are all so willing to step in and help out whenever I need you. Thank you for all you do. Enjoy your weekend and relax!!

Coming up this week:

Spelling: Classmates' names, Part 2!! We'll pretest on Monday. We'll do half the names this week and half the names next week. I will even include some of our teachers' names. The only HW this week will be cursive, and that will be due on Wednesday. The students will be responsible for learning only 12 names ALTOGETHER! I've explained this to the students.

English: This week we'll share our personal narratives.

Reading & Social Studies: We will be finishing up our study of Egypt!! It's a cross-curricular unit, involving both reading strategies, learned throughout the school year, and lots of interesting social studies activities as well. There will be a test on our Egypt unit on Friday, 5/17. Look for the study guide, coming home today.

Science: This week, we will finish the very first chapter in our textbook, “Getting Ready for Science.” Especially focused on will be the scientific method. Our test date will be Thursday, 5/16. We will review before that date. A study guide will be coming home today.
