READING
We will be reading the story called The
Art Lesson. It is about a boy named
Tommy who loves to draw pictures. When
he is old enough for art classes at school, Tommy is disappointed to learn that
he can only have one piece of paper, and only use eight crayons.
The vocabulary words are
crayons, powders, practice, chalk, smock, ruin and copy.
In phonics we will be
focusing on words with the vowel pairs oo, ew, ue, and ou. We will review base words with the endings
-ed and -ing.
Comprehension
strategy is evaluating, understanding, problem solving and making judgments.
In
grammar we will be working on irregular verbs.
Pen
Pals
The children in Ms.
Stetka’s third grade class are our pen pals.
We received our letters from them and we will be writing letters back to
them. We will be visiting our pen pals
at Prairie View School on June 6.
MATH
In
math we are learning about
fractions. We will be working on the vocabulary unit fractions, equal parts and
whole parts. We will have our test on
this chapter on Friday.
Science
We have started a unit on
nutrition. We are learning about the
five food groups and how those foods help us to grow.
TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK
A special thank you to the PTO for organizing
all the special treats this week. The
candy was delicious and the flowers are absolutely beautiful! I love teaching your children. They are very
special to me. I have truly enjoyed
working with each one of them this year.
I will be sad to see them go on to third grade. I will miss them very much.
Thank you to all of you who
participated in this
week’s meals. The food was very good
and it was so nice of you to think of the teachers. It was very much appreciated!
