Special Note:
Dear parents,
It looks like spring weather is finally coming and just in time to start learning about shadows. I'm also very happy to have 4 new students joining the class! Last month, the students did a great job of making and sharing their "All About Me" books. There won't be any individual presentations for the month of May, but the students will work in groups making stories about shadows. |
Science:
Unit 8: Measurement
This
month’s unit is Light. We will learn
about its properties and usages, and discuss and write about how we use light
in different areas of our lives. We will also be learning about how we can make
light using alternative energy sources through hands-on experiments and
discussions.

Math
Unit 9: 2D Geometry
This
month we will be exploring 2D Geometry. We will be looking at the properties of
different shapes. By comparing and contrasting 2D shapes through discussions
and activities, we will be able to practice and become confident during this
math unit.

Unit 9: Fun with Shadows
This month’s ELA Unit is Fun with Shadows. This
instruction text will show students how to create props for their own shadow puppet
story. Students will read and discuss how they can create stories. They will be
learning about different creative writing strategies to assist them in the
writing process. At the end of the month, though we will not have individual
presentations, groups will work together to present their shadow puppet
stories.

Here are the final results of the "All About Me" books we made this past unit.
They turned out really great and the students were able to show off their artistic skills, too!
