Dear Parents,
Here's what's happening at school this week.
Please return signed permission slips and $10 for our trip to Northern Lights and the Petoskey State Park on June 6.
iPad Collection
English
Our class book is just about finished, so we will be printing it later this week. Students will also have an opportunity to finish any writing projects this week.
Please think about what you can do to encourage your child to read for pleasure this summer. This article may be helpful. Pernille is the teacher who created Global Read Aloud and I think she has some awesome ideas.
Math
Last week, students continued working on a variety of concepts in math class. They learned about vertical, supplementary, and complementary angles. Students also practiced finding the area of trapezoids and triangles. At the end of the week, students modeled addition of integers. In class, they worked on answering questions from the Chapter 10 Review. They do not have an upcoming test on these concepts until Tuesday, June 5th. This will be their last assessment.
This week, students will continue to learn a variety of concepts to help prepare them for next year.
