May News

What We're Learning!



Testing—EOGs are the week of May 16th.  We will be having a “Blitz” (review) week starting May 2nd. Students will be put into smaller groups and will review all the information they have learned this year and have added on to from previous years. 

Social Studies– We have just finished learning about communities and how they have changed over time with Ms. Price!

Math— We are continuing to work on probability, keeping what we have learned this year fresh in our memory, and learning a few new things for next year!

Reading— We will be working on poetry, and also using the “Senteos” more in class!  Ask your student to explain what these are!

Writing— In writing, we are working on taking out unnecessary information, expanding the information we need, and learning to edit our own work.  The students’ reading and writing abilities have shown great progress!
