Language Arts: This week in our reading groups we will work on fluency, main characters, setting, and reading strategies. In writing the kids have started to learn how to make a keyword outline. The beginning of this instruction will be very directed. The kids will pull out keywords that I ask them to pull out and we will discuss why those words are important for remembering the sentence. We will do this for the first few weeks.
Math: In math we have started our chapter on Geometry and fractions. We will be doing work in identifying spheres, cylinders, cubes, rectangular prisms, cones, pyramids, triangles, circles, squares, and rectangles. We will also be learning fractions such as 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4. Vocabulary that will be covered includes “corner, solid shape, plane shape, and symmetry. Recognizing shapes can help children solve spacial problems!
Science: The kids are continuing to enjoy learning about the rainforest! I can not wait for them to see our room transformed on Open House!
OPEN HOUSE – Open House will take place May 6th from 6:30-9:00pm! Come see everything our kids have been learning about the Rainforest! Also, we are asking that each family bring 1 dozen cookies for the event. You can bring them that morning, or that afternoon when you pick your child up from school.
END OF YEAR CONVOCATION– As the year draws to a close we would like to gather as a family to celebrate all that God has done for us. Thursday, May 1st is the National Day of Prayer and our School Community Council believes that would be the perfect day to come together as an entire school. All of you (parents, grandparents, family, and friends) are invited to join the teachers, students, administration, and staff as we gather together for this ending convocation held in the Peoples’ Church sanctuary. It is a time of celebration, worship, and prayer as we end our year with thanksgiving and praise.The service begins at 8:00 am and will end by 8:30. All students K-12 are to report directly to the sanctuary by 7:55 AM. Every class will be designated with a sign and balloons, making it easy to locate your child’s class.It is exactly the same as our opening convocation seating arrangement. You are welcome to sit with your student in their designated area or if you have more than one student attending Fresno Christian, choose where you would like to sit.I look forward to seeing all of you at this closing event as we end our year acknowledging God’s hand upon us through prayer, worship, and heartfelt celebration.
Class Swim Party: This year our class swim party will be celebrated on Tuesday May 20th from 11:30-2:30 at the Pimentel’s house. Thank you to the Pimentel family for graciously opening up their home to our kids! Paper products and drinks will be provided, however I will be sending out a sign up sheet for food items. If you are able to assist please sign up for whatever is convenient. The Pimentel’s have a pool and trampoline, if you do not wish for your child to be on the trampoline during the party please let me know. Also, you must provide your child with a way to get to the party. If you are unable to do so please let me know ASAP.
