This Week’s Homework:

The following assignments should be completed and turned in by Friday:

1. Ocean Animal Poster. Please help your child use the information from last week’s Ocean Animal Investigation outline to create a poster to present to the Vomvokids in the form of an oral report on Friday, May 16th. Please refer to the timeline below.

2. 2-3 choices from our monthly family activity calendar.

3. Practice reading our sight words every night. (new list below)
 
4. Ten minutes (or more!) of reading every night with a parent, guardian, or older sibling, etc. I’m sure your child would love to read the book in his or her small manila folder to you! Sight words are fun to read together, too. Reading together every night is VERY important. Let’s work together to develop a love of books and reading in our children!

School library books are due every Wednesday morning.

Friday is a minimum day.

Math:  This week we will finish our unit on subtraction, which is the last chapter of our Scott Foresman curriculum.  Hooray!!  We have met (and exceeded) all Kindergarten Math State Standards!  In the remaining weeks we will focus on year-end assessments and prepare for 1st grade.
