*I hope you're all enjoying your Mother's Day. I also hope you enjoyed the writing the kiddos did about their mom's this week! They had great opinions and reasons for thinking you're all pretty special!
*This Thursday, May 17th is a 12:20pm Early Release. Students will not have lunch at school, but we will have snack in the morning.
*This week in Math, students will take the Unit 8 Cumulative Assessment which will draw upon their math knowledge from the whole year to tell me what areas they still need help with. Unit 9 of Everyday Math is our final unit and is a review unit of all of the concepts they have learned in first grade. Since we still have a month left of first grade and only 9 lessons left for math, we will slow down and dig into areas of math where students still need support.
*In Science, we continue to work on concepts relating to Sun, Moon and Stars.
*Last week during Daily 5, we focused on fixing up writing. Many students are focusing on finding the appropriate place for punctuation and making sure their sentences begin with an uppercase letter. They all did a great job fixing up (editing) their work with me last week. I hope to have them begin to edit their own work this week using a writing checklist.
*Distance Learning #2 is due in school by this Friday, May 18th in order to get credit for a day of school. You can send work in any day this week.
*Thank you so much for coming to our show last week. I was so proud of everyone for doing an excellent job on stage!
