MAP Testing - We will be doing our end of the year MAP testing this week.  It is very important that all students bring their iPad fully charged each day.  Please remind your child to put their iPad into their backpack in the morning.

From Mrs. Hendron:
Parents,
Friday, May 19 marks the day in which all library books are due.  Notices will go out after this date indicating if your student has any overdue books and the replacement value of the book(s).
Thank you!  Ms. Hendron

Reading - We'll be reading fables this week.  We will learn about conflict, personification, and determining the moral of the story.  We will read and compare many fables and look for the central message in each.

Math - We will begin a chapter on Multiplication.  We'll begin by learning how skip counting and addition are related to multiplication.  We'll then write multiplication sentences that match an array and learn that we can multiply numbers in any order.

Social Studies - We have started a new unit on Maps!  We've been learning about the different things that maps show ~ continents, oceans, and how maps can cover both small and large areas.  Next week we'll learn about map symbols and the map key.

ABC Countdown for next week:
5/8 - Hat Day
5/9 - Inside Out Day
5/10 - Joke Day
5/11 - Kid's Choice Movie
5/12 - Lollipop Day
