Marvelous May has arrived. We will focus on opinion writing about characters and books.  . Working with letters and sounds will be done in Fundations.   The spelling of r-controlled vowels and  long vowel words will continue.  Also, the marking of words and identifying word parts will be practiced.  A variety of stories will be shared and enjoyed.  We will also explore the components of fiction (character, settting, plot) and nonfiction (facts, table of contents, glossary, index) books.  In Math, measurement will continue.  This will be followed by geometry.  In Science, we will explore how the Earth's surface is changed.  It will include some fun experiments.  We will also have some fun with the monthly events and holidays.
