May is flying by! I am so proud of how well our class has been staying focused on their learning and working hard to finish our year off strong!
Here are some quick updates for our class:
🕒 Math - We are learning all about time equivalency. We are building our concept of time by understanding how various measurements of time are related. You can support your child's developing concept of time by asking how they would measure various tasks, such as how long it takes to brush their teeth, read one chapter of a book, or clean their room. You could also time these tasks to build their awareness of the passage of time.
✈ Social - We have started our study of Tunisia. Over the next couple of weeks, ask your child to share some facts about Tunisia with you!
📝 Language Arts - Balanced literacy remains a daily focus in our class. We continue to practice our reading skills by reading to self, reading with friends, and listening to stories. We are currently reading "The Wizard of Oz" as a class. Ask your child to summarize this classic story for you! Developing our writing skills also remains an ongoing focus. Daily word sort tasks, editing review, and cursive writing practice remain an important part of our literacy routine. We are currently focusing on what makes a strong story ending. Endings that include a memory, feeling, wish, hope, decision, or defining action help to clearly conclude stories.
