Round 1 of our chicks are growing fast. Here's a peek at what they've been up to! They will be here briefly in the morning before they go to their forever home!
READING HOMEWORK
Starting today, I will begin the end of the year reading assessment. This is a special time where each child reads to me individually and I will assess their reading skills based on their comprehension and fluency. The reading assessment will take a few weeks to complete. As always, your child needs to be reading at home daily using self-selected books, or on-line resources such as RAZ-kids, pebble-Go, or Mackin-VIA. Reading Logs will continue to come back and forth until the last week of school. Our purpose for recording what we read is to read a variety of genres and find the one we LOVE!
FIELD DAY
Field Day is on this Friday, May 1st at 12:30-2:20 I emailed a note about it last Friday. There were specific directions for that day! Our lunch time is at 10:45-11:20 on Field Day.

READING and WRITING
We are continuing with our unit on poetry and we will be learning how to find inspiration in our hearts to write poetry. What really matters to you? We will start the week off exploring different feeling/emotion words and follow it up with writing a feelings/emotion poem. Next we will explore the concrete or shape poetry. In this type of poetry, the words form shapes which illustrates the poem's subject as a picture. The last set of poetry we will explore this week will be poetry using our 5 senses.We will read different examples, focusing on the parts with the 5 senses and write our own poems using sensory words.

MATH
This week we will start a measurement unit and explore the capacity and weight of 3-D shapes. We will define capacity as the amount that something can hold and use vocabulary such as full, half full, or empty to describe the capacity of various sized containers. We will use non-standard units such as scoops of rice, or glasses of water to measure the capacity of three-dimensional objects. We will also use non-standard units such as linking cubes and balancing tools to compare the weight of 3D objects.
SCIENCES
We will continue our plant unit and learn about different parts of plant and their function. We will learn that roots carry the water and nutrients from the soil, stems hold up the plant and transport the nutrients and water from the roots to other parts of plant and leaves make food. We will also learn about the plant life cycle. We will plant a Lima bean and watch the growth process by observing the growing roots, shooting stem and leaves.
