Friday June 25 is Hawaiian day! (Hawaiian shirts and skirts for the win!)

June 25 Is the last day of school! 

This week in room 5:

Language Arts:

Looking at elements of non fiction text

-This week we are breaking down books that help us to learn about things in the world!

-We looked at captions, pictures, titles, glossaries, indexes and table of contents. 

Writing about how to be an everyday super hero!

Reading to self, and listening to reading.

We will also be writing some positive intention messages which we will be offering for our smudge on Monday. 

Math

This week we are revisiting estimation!

We are using our counting skills and understanding of place value to estimate amounts up to 100.

We will also be completing our Friday Mathletics.

Science

This week we are building boats! 

For the past few weeks we have been learning about sinking and floating and it is time to put our knowledge to the test. I am hoping to build the boats on Thursday so if you have any extra recycled materials can you please bring them in for Thursday. We will be creating our plans tomorrow and having one day to collect our materials. I will send home a school messenger tomorrow as well!

The boats should be small enough to be able to fit into a normal size desk tray, and big enough to hold some erasers or heavy objects! These boats we design will need to be able to move as well. This can be done with a balloon, propeller or sail. I will provide the materials for sails or balloons.

Art

Fathers/loved ones day cards! We will be making a nice card to say thank you to the beloved heroes of our families. Yes we mean you dads, mom and grandparents!

Health

-Mindfulness

-How can we be a leader or everyday hero (especially in the last two weeks of school!)

Have a great day everyone!
