Back at it!
We are really getting back into the swing of things this week! We will be having spelling words and a test on Friday (after Field Day, I know! How cruel!) just like normal. The kids will also have homework again this week for the first time since Milestones. Though it is the end of the year, I want the kids to grow as much as possible before sending them onto 5th grade! Field Day We have been working on our Field Day shirts at school. I will keep them until Field Day just to make sure they are all here on Friday. :) After Friday, the kids will wear them home. Be mindful that though they have been washed once, you may not want to immediately wash them with other clothes. Sometimes it takes a few washes to get all the extra dye out. Also, please make sure Friday you send your child with hats, sunscreen, water bottles, etc. All Field Day activities are outside and it will be warm! I will try to remember to send out a reminder Thursday about this as well. Math We have been working with all kind of units of measurement in math the past few weeks. It would be beneficial to point out places where different types of units are used (feet, yards, pounds, ounces, liters, gallons, quarts, inches) at the grocery store, gas station, etc. Chapter Book Competition I am encouraging the kids to FINISH chapter books in the last three weeks of school. I know many of them get in the habit of starting them and stopping them due to lack of interest. The children will be keeping a record of all chapter books read with a passing AR test score. At the end of the year, the winning student will receive a prize from Little Shop of Stories. Please encourage your child to read both now and over the summer. The number one way to prevent summer slip back is just to read. . Have a wonderful week!
