May 15th - 19th


From the PE Department:
Students will also be needing to wear or bring tennis shoes to wear outside for gym. Their current gym shoes do not count. Which means they either need to wear shoes to run in on gym days, or they need to bring another pair of shoes to school to wear outside. This second pair may be stored in their shoe bins outside the classroom.

Spirit Week: 


M- Comfy clothes (PJ's, active wear, sweats, etc) 
T-Twinning or MN Twins. Dress as a twin with your pal, or come with your MN Twins spirit gear.
W- Red carpet attire, dress like your a super star!
Th- Free Style/ Be your 'selfie' :) dress in clothes that represents you!
F- College tees & non-uniform bottoms

What we are learning this week:

Math: Interim week! is over! We conclude this week with selective math review games.


Phonics: This week is focused on antonyms, and how we can use them to replace words we may usually use.

Core Knowledge: This week we finish the  final CK unit on electricity.  Students will be exploring static electricity, circuits and conductors/insulators through hands on experiences. Students will also be learning about ways to stay safe when using electricity. 

Writing: We will work on selective writing projects

IRA: We will be reading books that focus on characters change, and traits. How can we describe the character beyond a physical description?

May's Virtue: Diligence
