Math: In math we are beginning to move on towards fractions and geometry. Students will be identifying equally partitioned shapes as halves, thirds and fourths. We will be working with different shapes in order to represent fractions in different ways. Next up, ARRAYS!
Reading: As we are wrapping up the year it is important to remember that the DRA assessment is right around the corner. Students will be reviewing how to provide a thorough retell of a story that they read. As well as identifying important details that support the main idea of the story. Students will have the opportunity to practice retelling books on their level this week.
Please make sure your student read for at least 20 minutes each night or read their book bag!!! The reading log should be filled out every night!!!
Look at these readers! Analyzing text through compare and contrast strategies.

Field DAY!!! VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Dear Parents,
In order to help our field day run smoothly we will need volunteers! This year’s field day will be May 20, 2016 and will consist of about 21 stations. Field Day will begin at 8:00 and I would like for the volunteers to be at school no later than 7:45 on this day. This will allow time to ask any questions regarding the assigned station. Some stations will involve water and the students will get wet. I will also need some people to fill water balloons. I have the balloons and can send them home with your child if you could just fill them with water and then send them to school May 19
th
or the morning of field day. The other stations will be dry. If you would like to volunteer please email me Karen.vermillion@shelby.kyschools.us and let me know the following:o I can’t work a station but I can fill up some water balloons and send them into school.
o I would prefer working a station that does not involve water.
o I can work a station all day.
o I can work a station in the AM only.
o I can work a station in the PM only.
I will contact you with the information and description of your station.
Thank you for your help to make this a day your child will remember!
