Happy May!

This week in Math we started addition. So far we learned how to act out addition problems, recognize addition patterns, and use pictures to solve addition problems. Take a look at the Math worksheet that is sent home each day for "at home activities" you can do with you child at home to help practice what is learned in school. Toward the end of May we will begin subtraction. I would encourage you to make flashcards at home and practice addition and subtraction problems at home with your child over the summer.

In Language Arts we are just finishing Unit 5. We will be having the Unit 5 Test very soon. It would be good to review beginning, middle and ending sounds, blends, all 40 sight words, character, setting, main idea and plot. We have also been working on identifying nouns and verbs in sentences.

Just a reminder, Field Day is on Monday, May 10th from 12:30-2:30 and we will be using the fields in the back of the school near the playground. Please feel free to come and cheer our team on! Please make sure your child wears his/her yellow field day shirt!
