Reading-
Next week we will continue to work on reading skills that we will need for our end of year assessments. We all did very well on our practice, and now are going over the few areas that we need to reflect on shown with the testing. We will all be very well prepared. If you want to practice at home the following link has STAAR passages and the key to score them. You can work on these at home if you want your child to get extra practice with what the STAAR really looks like.

Writing-
We will continue to work on our Choose Your Own Adventure books. These are so much fun and we are working hard to have them done for Knowledge Night so that we can have them on display.
Social Studies
We will be moving into the early 1900s and talking about WWI and the Stock Market Crash. This is an exciting time in history that is fun to learn about.
Homework-
Thank you for working with your child at home. This is the final push of the year and working with parents for 20-30 minutes a night reminds them that school is still being taken seriously and that it is not summer break yet.
This is a great time to have your child work on Dreambox to help them prep for the upcoming math tests, it is also a good time to have them read to you or try a reading STAAR release passage for practice. Remember to talk to your child about doing their best and working hard, but also that we don't want them to feel stressed or anxious. Prepared and ready to do well is the goal. Everyone in our class has worked hard this year and they are all ready to do well.
Field Day-
Next Friday is Field Day. Please send your child with comfortable clothes, tennis shoes, sunscreen on them and with a water bottle. There will be water stations outside and but when we come in at 2:00 they will want drink to rehydrate. We have many parents volunteering and there were still volunteer slots last time I looked, but not many. If you want to come and join the fun then please sign up! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0b49a8aa28a7f58-2019
Thank you!
