Classroom Update

Happy Friday, families! For the last two weeks, and into next week, Ms. Lampkin has taken over most of the teaching. She will be with us through the first week of May, and is learning and growing so much as a teacher.

In math, students have been learning about different forms of measurement. These include perimeter, time, weight, and volume and capacity. We will wrap up this unit next week with a test on Friday.

In science, students are learning about environments and habitats, and this unit will also culminate with a test on Friday the 13th.

In language arts, students are writing personal narratives, and reading a novel in a book club. This round of book clubs consists of daily meetings with literacy activities and will culminate with a book presentation project within the next two weeks. Each day, students are taught a mini-lesson to review a specific reading skill, and then given an opportunity to put it into practice within their book club.

And finally, in social studies, we are learning about communities and how they have changed over time. We will be taking a closer look specifically at how communication, travel, school and inventions have changed over the years.
