27 More Days!

I cannot believe the end of the year is approaching so quickly!  We are already starting to do some wrapping up, and unfortunately with that comes testing - yuck!  This week we began the first round of tests.  We will continue next week and then take a break (while the other grades have their testing) before we finish up in May.

On Monday, we had no school.  I hope everyone had a great spring break!

On Tuesday, we had a one-hour delay and tested for the remainder of the morning.  We learned lowercase r and s in cursive and read through our story for the week, Town Hall, which is a Readers Theater.

On Wednesday, we tested all morning again.  We learned lowercase j and p in cursive.  We added the "ed" hunk and chunk to our Phonics Dance board.  We introduced the vocabulary words for this week's story.  The words are accomplish, feasible, attend, report, area, and serve.  We used a Venn Diagram to compare and contrast two students in each class.

On Thursday, we tested for part of the morning.  We had our spelling test, and we practiced our Readers Theater in small groups.

On Friday, we tested all morning again.  We blogged (be sure to check them out).

Next week we will continue with Town Hall.  In addition to vocabulary, we are reviewing compare/contrast and graphic aids.  We are also reviewing verbs.  There will be no spelling for next week.

Our specials schedule for next week will be:

Monday - gym

Tuesday - library

Wednesday - music

Thursday - computer

Friday - art

Have a great weekend!
