Curriculum Overview
Literacy - In both reading and writing we have been conducting research, taking notes, and writing a non-fiction report about plants.

Math - We took a geometry exam today on 2 dimensional shapes, 3 dimensional shapes, and patterns.  To end the year we will be working on creating graphs with our iPads.

Science - This week some classes will be taking our end of unit exam on plants and life cycles.  We will also check in on our experiment to see if different groups of plants can survive without water, air, or sunlight.

Social Studies with Mrs. Heron - This week students are wrapping up our last Social Studies unit by taking our test on How Communities Change.

Word Study with Mrs. Sepich - This week students will work on entering the final 5 vocabulary words into their journals.  These words came from the book “Crab Moon.”  Students will be given an end of the year assessment (the same that was given at the beginning) on spelling and word patterns.

Leadership - We are practicing songs for an end of school sing-a-long.
