Reading
Math
We asked and answered questions
about key details in The Pied Piper.
We also identified words and phrases in
stories that suggested feelings.
We applied addition strategies to develop
fluency within ten.
We created and solved story problems,
identifying the known and unknown in
different positions.
Writing
Science
We wrote an opinion piece on the best
material with which to build a home.
We also wrote a character trait that
best described the Pied Piper.
We identified various building objects on the
playground and the materials from which
each is made.
We incorporated properties of materials used
to make human-made features in
the design of a new playground.
Social Studies
FIELD TRIP
Everyone has turned in their permission
slips to the National Zoo on May 12.
We described why and how people protect
the environment.
We described actions people can take to
protect the environment.
Please send in an extra pair of clothes for your child to
keep at school. The Health Room has a very limited
supply of extra clothes on hand.
Your child’s teacher will be in touch with
volunteers soon.
