April Newsletter

ACI 1 News Date: April 1st - April 26th
Special Note: Dear parents, Both ACI classes did an amazing job during the unit on Clouds.  They learned a lot of useful vocabulary about weather and learned how to identify how clouds are made and what each type can tell us about the weather. Their final Weather Report presentations turned out great and really showed off the knowledge they've gained. We also finished our math unit on adding and subtracting two-digit numbers. They learned how to solve problems using place value mats and the standard algorithm. In science, we learned about different types of structures and were able to identify how and where structures are used in the real world.

Week 1: Length, Height, and Distance * The students will become familiar standard and non-standard units and different measuring tools used to measure length, height, and distance. Week 2: Air and Weight * We will conduct an experiments to show how air takes of space and find if it has weight.

Week 4: Review Week * Our final week will be used to review this month's concepts through education games and activities.
Math Unit 8: Linear Measurement, Area, and Perimeter Our next unit in math will be focused on developing an understanding of linear measurement and area. They will estimate, measure, and compare lengths and perimeters using standard and non-standard units. They will also investigate area measurement by used non-standard units to cover a surface.	English Language Arts: Unit 8: All About Me The month of April will be spent reading All About Me, an instructional book about making an "All About Me" book.
