Service Learning Update:
  The kiddos did a great job picking out some more fun and practical items for our baskets. We worked together as a grade level this week to put all the materials together with ribbon and but them into the bags for moms.

What We are Learning!

Writing: We will be completing our Poetry Notebooks next week to get them all ready to show on our Poetry Picnic day! 

Social Studies: Students are going to complete their research on their Famous Missourian and begin the project of their choosing. 

Math: We are going to be doing one last unit called Field Trips and Fundraisers. The kiddos will be using their knowledge of fractions to solve real world situations. They will get to work together to create posters explaining their thinking and then participate in whole class discussions. 

Reading: We are continuing our fun read aloud book to wrap up our school year. I will also begin our DRA and AIMs Web testing. During this time students will still meet in their book groups, but work on facilitating it on their own. They will also be using this chunk of time to work on their Famous Missourian project.
