Wow! I cannot believe how quickly this year has flown by! We have wrapped up all of our STAAR Assessments (yay!) and are looking towards the end of the year. May is going to be packed with all kinds fun stuff. Be sure to check our calendar for important dates.
Here is what our week is going to look like...
Monday
Today we started our persuasive writing unit! We had so much fun talking about the tricks that writers use to persuade their audience. We talked about everything from commercials to the little promises we make our parents if they would just PLEASE buy us that new toy! We also spent some time working on our brain food projects. Hopefully they will be ready by the end of tomorrow. We also started a fun reflection project to share on Spotlight Night.
Tuesday
We will continue our persuasive unit by examining author tricks. We have an Amazon shipment coming in today that should have tons of great mentor text! Speaking of books, we will have our Book Fair preview today (yay!) We will continue working on our reflection and brain food projects.
Wednesday
It's an early release day. We are going to try and fit in as much as possible in our little time. This will be the FINAL deadline for brain food projects. We will also continue our persuasive unit.
Thursday
All reflection projects are due today. We will start our angle measurement unit today! We will learn how to use protractors and talk about how we will use this new information. We are also going to continue classifying the types of persuasion we see in our mentor text. Tonight is Spotlight Night! Students will have a chance to share all the cool things they have been working on this year. Don't forget to stop by the Book Fair!
Friday
FIELD DAY! Don't forget to wear appropriate clothes, and to pack an extra yummy snack to fuel up your body. We will NOT have a spelling assessment today. It's the last day for Book Fair!
