May 19, 2017 Weekly Update

Hello Families!

We are feeling great after a fun-filled week!  We have worked hard on presenting our Famous Missourian projects, and everyone did a nice job!  We capped  off the week by enjoying some pizza and Kona Ice, thanks to donations from our PTA.

As we approach the end of the year, I just wanted to say how fortunate I have been to have the kids, parents, and support that I have recieved this year.  It is always a little hard to say goodbye for the summer, but I look forward to seeing each of these kids again in the fall as they walk a little further down the hall to 5th grade!

Here is a quick snapshot of our week:

Reading-  We are enjoying reading wacky stories from Wayside School this week!

Social Studies-  Our kids worked hard on researching and presenting their famous Missourian projects.  From Harry Truman to Ella Ewing to Satchel Paige, Missouri sure has a lot of famous people who call our state "home"!

Math-  The kids have been working with partners on a project-based fraction activity, and we have been spending the end of each day presenting our solutions.

Writing-  We are finishing up our unit on Figurative language, and we have also been borrowing some writing time to put towards our Famous Missourian projects!


Don't forget, field day is Monday, so make sure your kids are dressed in old clothes and tennis shoes!
One more week of school until summer break, I think we're going to make it :)
