This next week: May 17-21st

On Monday I will be sending home a"R is for Recipe" page. My hope is that you will take some time to look for an easy "Kid friendly" recipe that the student likes to write it out. When they return the recipe, they will type it up on this blog. Then, throughout the summer when you want to try something new to make together- get on here and look up a new recipe! Participation is requested, but not counted like homework.

FYI- there will also be a yellow parent survey going home on Monday that needs to be returned asap.

Starting early/ mid week I will introduce our:

End of the year showcase:

Choose 3 of the options to be completed by Wednesday, May 26th

Read a chapter book, more than 100 pages long, write out a book report that is in depth. Full sentences, correct spelling and grammar, using all details from the story.

3. Are you confident in your multiplication facts? Prove it by going in front of the class and answering 25 random multiplication problems out loud within 5 seconds.

4. Pass the math packet with 85% correct (you must answer on your own, but can have help at home). This will cover most everything we worked on this year.

5. Label and color, carefully in the lines, a world map and United States map. Complete the geography questions.

6. Look up more in depth a social studies topic we have learned about this year (Vikings, Canada, Pilgrims and Mayflower, Rome…) and write 2 paragraphs of new information with a picture to share with the class.


this is still a work in progress, but I wanted something for them to work for at home and school- that correlated a little of everything we worked on this year. This will be the last week for a spelling packet (last spelling test will be this Friday the 21st) and probably the last for math homework. I want them to read and work on these projects instead for next week.

Let me know if you have questions!
