Quarter 4 Week 8


Happy Friday 3C!


Another week has flown by and we have had lots of fun learning and celebrating! We enjoyed our ice cream making party Wednesday afternoon, have been listening to fantastic science presentations, and said farewell to Mrs. Bowers for the school year. We are going to continue to have exciting activities as well as learn as much as we can before the end of the school year! 




Learning all about Saturn!


Mrs. Bowers received great advice to help with her new baby!


This gift made from 3C will fit perfectly in Lily's purple nursery! 


Yummy Treats and Baby Bingo with Mrs. Bowers!


Happy Mother's Day to all of the wonderful moms in our class! I hope you enjoy a relaxing weekend with your sweet children, I plan to do the same!

MAP testing is this week!

A Look in the Classroom

  1. Language Arts: This week we will have a 20 word Spalding list with our usual test on Friday. In grammar we are defining conjunctions and diagramming them in sentences. Our individual recitation of our Pocahontas poem will be on Monday May 15th; it is sad to think that this is the last poem of our year together! We will continue identifying features of fairy tales and tall tales and continue summarizing Stories of the World.
  2. Science: This week we will be learning about orienteering and the constellations. Students will get the opportunity to do a fun hands-on activity to mimic orienteering on the football field. At the end of the week we are going to be reading a biography about Mae Jemison, the first female African-American astronaut. We will be writing an essay about Jemison for our final science activity of the year.
  3. Math: Due to MAP testing and our annual Singapore assessment, math instruction this week will be kept to a minimum with a focus on review. Please review math facts with your scholar at home, as this will prove a huge benefit for this week!
  4. History: Students will continue learning about the northern colonies, particularly the New York colony (which was once called New Netherland), as well as the Pennsylvania colony and its famous founder, William Penn. A study guide for our final assessment will go home on Tuesday, and a Quizlet link is forthcoming.
Assessments

  1. Monday - Poetry Recitation
  2. Friday - Spelling Test
Warmly, 

Mrs. Chilson and Mrs. Geyer
