Happy Mothers Day!
"A Mother is like a flower, each one is beautiful and unique"
Happy Mothers Day to all of the moms. I hope you have a wonderful weekend with your families!
Thank you so much for making this week so special for the teachers. The luncheon was so nice and there were so many delicious treats. It was very kind and thoughtful.
Literacy- This week in literacy the students learned about recycling, composting, and pollution. The kids are learning different ways that they can do their part to take care of the environment around them such as turning off the electricity when they are not using it, walking or riding a bike instead of riding in a car, composting table scraps, recycling plastic, glass, and paper- and so much more! Next week we will wrap up this unit and begin a new unit called "Presidents and American Symbols".
Below are a few of our "Trash Monsters" that the kids used out of things we otherwise would have thrown away. Thank you for contributing to our science station to make this possible for the kids.
Skills- In skills we learning how to write the capital letters N, O, P, Q, R, S, and T using the correct writing strokes. We learned the tricky words: "what" and "so". We are continuing to practice reading, comprehending what we are reading, and writing.
Math- In math this week we continued to learn about subtraction. The big idea in this unit is for students to form subtaction stories and write them using symbols. Students will also master subtraction fluency within 5. This week the students learned about a vertical number line. The students use the number line to subtract.
Amy Hutton Triathlon- On Friday, May 24th Forest View is holding the Amy Hutton Triathlon. This will take place of the Color Run that we have done in previous years. The students will participate in a STEM activity, Reading activity, and a Health and Fitness event. Last year we were able to give away 2 $500 scholarships to graduating seniors with the money raised. Our goal is to do the same this year. Please look over the form and let me know if you have any questions.
