Room 207 Newsletter

Mrs. Linehan  May 12, 2008

 

Wow! It’s May and the students in room 207 are going to be so busy for the remainder of the year.  While we have many exciting events occurring the students must stay focused on their school work.

 

Religion:  Fr. Brendan spent 45 minutes with the students of room 207 recently answering many, many of their questions.  We were so blessed to have him with us.  Currently we are discussing the vocations of the Catholic Church. During the month of May we will honor Mary and attend the May Crowning that is a wonderful tradition we celebrate at our parish school.

 

Math: We will continue with fractions and long division as well as introduce geometry.

 

Social Studies:  This Friday is the final test on the Mountain states.  We will conclude the year by studying the Pacific States.  THE REGIONAL FAIR IS WEDNESDAY, MAY 7 FROM 6:30 TO 7:30.  PLEASE HAVE YOUR CHILD THERE ON TIME. EVERYTHING WILL BE SET UP FROM THE AFTERNOON PRESENTATIONS.

 

Reading:  We are completing “Who Stole the Wizard of OZ” and our mystery unit.  For the remainder of the year students will be reading an assortment of literary genre stories from their reader.

 

Writing: In conjunction with the mystery unit in reading, students are creating and writing their own mystery stories.  We will complete the year writing poetry.

 

Science:  Students are studying rocks and minerals.  They are fascinating! Ask your child about the difference between rocks and minerals and to describe the different types of rocks.
