News from the class of Mrs. Mele & Mrs. Karl
May 1, 2015
What We Are Learning
Reading: We are
continuing to focus on using the METAL organizer when responding to questions
about text. The students are making
impressive progress! We will be reading
many books about immigration, connecting with our Social Studies unit on
immigration. The students will be
researching how people around the world came to America. This research will be used to write a play.
Math: We finished our study of decimals, and
students will now apply their knowledge to practice adding and subtracting
decimals. We will also be studying angle
measurement, area, and perimeter. Look
around your home and see if your child can identify acute, right and obtuse
angles. Also, can they identify the area
and perimeter of a room in your home?
Social Studies: We are
beginning our study of immigration. This
would be a great time to share your family ancestry with your child. Please let us know if you would like to share
your family’s history or story of immigration with our class. We would love to have some guest speakers!
