Greetings Families!
Last week Elmer School held Spring Parent - Teacher Conferences. It was good meeting with you all to discuss the progress your children have made throughout this school year. Thank you for your support and input!
Here is a peek at this week:
In Math we will continue our practice of fraction concepts with the review on Wednesday and the test on Thursday. Keep practicing those facts!
In Language Arts we will practice the prefixes pre- and re-. Students will recognize the narrative elements of beginning, middle and end and will be able to identify the story problem and solution in "The Pine Park Mystery". There will be NO Reading test this week due to our field trip! We will have the Spelling test on Thursday.
In Social Studies we will be discussing Lesson 2 "Traditions and Holidays". Remember that the "Family Tree" project is due April 20th. To manage this long term project, this week students should be in the planning and designing stage. One way they can organize their thoughts on this project is to make a basic sketch of the design. Once the project choice has been made, a basic sketch on paper with notes of needed materials would be a great organizational tool.
In Science we will be reading and discussing lesson 2 "How Can People Harm Natural Resources?" During the week our class will be tracking our water usage. You can do this at home as well!
We are looking forward to our trip to "The Academy of Natural Sciences" on Friday! If you are chaperoning and have not sent in $7.00 for admission, please do so. THANKS! Also, please make sure all students and chaperones arrive at school at 8:30am. The bus will leave at 8:45. See you then!
Have a Great Week!
Mrs. Scull
