Good Morning!  I hope you all had an amazing weekend, and Memorial Day!  Finally, some beautiful weather!  I hope you were all able to get outside a little and enjoy it!

Here is the calendar for the week – > May 26 – May 29

This week, we will be learning about the rainforest!  Each day will be filled with lots of rainforest activities!  I have switched things up a little, and all grammar and spelling will be optional.  Literacy activities will all be integrated into science and social studies.  I know it is getting harder for some kiddos to stay focused and motivated.  Especially now that the weather is looking more and more like summer.  Do the best they can to get assignments done, but feel free to take a break, when you feel like they need it.  We would often have to switch things up, at this point in the year, when we were having trouble focusing.  Feel free to do the same.  Most of the work is review, at this point, so it is okay to choose a different way to practice math and literacy skills.

Today, I have asked the children to write, or record a silly rainforest story.  I have provided four story starters, but if they have a different idea, that is great!  Go for it!  We are starting with a lesson on fractions today, and will continue with other fraction activities throughout the week.

 

As always, thank you for all that you do!  I am grateful for each of you!
