INFORMATION
Extra Clothes
As the snow has begun to melt we have been experiencing
a lot of students coming in wet/muddy from the water
after recess. It would be helpful if you could send in an
extra pair of socks and pants for your child that they can
keep in their locker for such incidents.
School supplies/headphones/shoes
Many students have run out of school supplies. Please check
with your child to see what they may need. Please check with
them if they require new laces or new shoes as many have
grown out of them and/ or are starting to get holes in them.
Please make sure their headphones are still at school/working as we
use them on a regular basis.
The following is an overview of the main areas we will focus on
throughout April.
Language Arts:
We will be working on the daily 5 program and continuing to
add more CAFÉ strategies to our board this month to
improve our comprehension, accuracy, fluency and expanding
our vocabulary. In our phonics books we will be working on
contractions, synonyms, antonyms and homonyms.
Reading:
We will be doing a novel study on Charlotte’s Web. We will be
working on several activities based on this book while
working on our comprehension, word study and reading skills.
Writing Students will continue working on the six traits of writing and this
month we will be working on word choice. We will be working on
changing boring words, adding powerful verbs, using clues to figure
out the meaning of words based on the context and adding sensory
details.

Math
Our next unit is Geometry. Students will be describing the
characteristics of 2-D and 3- D shapes and analyze the relationships
among them. They will be describing, comparing, sorting and
constructing 2-D and 3-D shapes. They will be sorting polygons by
the number of sides, describing objects by the shapes and number
of the faces, edges and vertices. We will also be working on
learning the multiplication facts up to 5 x 5.
Science
Our new unit is Rocks and Minerals. Students will learn about materials
found on Earth’s surface—rocks, minerals and
soil. By closely examining sample rocks,
students discover similarities and differences
and explore these, using simple tests and tools.
Students learn that each kind of rock has a set
of characteristics and that these
characteristics can be used in classifying and identifying rocks. In
studies of soil, students discover that the component materials include
rock fragments and remains of living things, and that different soils
have different compositions. Students learn that the characteristics
of rock and soil are important to their use within the community.
Social Studies
We are on to our next country of study…. Tunisia! This month we
will look at where is Tunisia located, the quality of life in Tunisia,
their customs, traditions and celebrations, the services they have
and the how people work together in Tunisia.
