Math: The class is learning about geometric solids and volume. Next week they will begin to explore rates and unit pricing. In addition to finishing our last two math units, we are reviewing probability, multiplication and division algorithms, probability, factor pairs, and open sentences.
Reading: We are listening to Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy as we continue to explore historical fiction. Some new concepts are point of view and themes. This story also ties into social studies through an exploration of the history of Malaga Island, off of Phippsburg, Maine.
Writing: Fiction stories are being finished up, and the children are reading poetry in preparation for writing their own poems.
Science: Our study of plants continues through observing our radishes and lima bean plants as they grow and change. Thanks to parents who have been helping us water!
Our Play: We have been rehearsing and the children are learning their lines. Most children seem confident in getting their costume and props from home. Please ask your child about what they have said they will wear/bring, and thank you in advance for your help with this. If we have nice weather on Tuesday, 5/21, we will paint set from 11:30-12:30 and 2-3. If you can come in and help us, please let me know.
Have a great week, Renee
