The Longmore Learners
Week of May 9th
End of the Year
This might be my last Smore newsletter this year. I am not sure I will get one done next week. Thank you for putting up with my incessant emails, text and technology this year. You have amazing kids and I am looking forward to seeing what great places go in the future!
This week we will finalize MAP testing with our Math sessions. The kids are ready. We have worked hard in Math and they are ready for this test. I hope you have a second to tell them that.
After that, I have a Health Unit I have to cram into a few days. I will take the important pieces and teach those as we continue with our Poetry unit.

This Week In Math
After Math testing this week, I have plans to work through Topic 15, which is in preparation for 5th grade Math. I am searching for some more interactive activities to do in Math as well, so I will keep you updated. Topic 15 is problem solving using geometry and measurement.
This Week In ELA
We will continue with poetry and Health this week, focusing on poetry.
Read Aloud
We will continue to read the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Every student will read as I read aloud. The main objective of this read aloud is the comparison between written text and visual media. We will watch short snippets of the original Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory as we go.
Writing & Reading
Poetry will be the main subject for reading and writing.
Health
We will be focusing on How the body works in a little more detail than they did last year. We will add how to eat healthy and communicable diseases as well.
