A Look at Our Week!


Welcome back!  We hope everyone had a fun, relaxing spring break. :)  Here is what's going on this week:

Skills: letter combinations, beginning and ending digraphs (ph, ck, kn, wr), high frequency words, bossy ‘e’ long vowel word families

Readers’ Workshop: Read-alouds, continue to practice and review old Reading Strategies, Schema (ask your child about the schema song we learned today!)

Writers’ Workshop: Persuasive Writing

Math Workshop: We will develop strategies for accurately counting and keeping track of quantities up to 20; find the total after 1, 2, or 3 is added to, or subtracted from, a set; use subsets to count a set of objects, using numbers, pictures, and/or words to represent a quantity; repeat multiple nonstandard units to qualify length.

Science: Comparing Plants and Animals: “Where do animals live?” and “How are plants and animals the same and different?”

Social Studies: Weekly Reader: Animal Rhymes

Zoo Field Trip
Our Zoo field trip is this Thursday, 4/7! Please make sure your child wears sneakers (we will be walking a lot) and comfortable, weather appropriate clothing shorts).  Your child will only need a snack that day.

Welcome Mrs. Griffin!
As Mrs. Cole is home taking care of her new baby girl, Mrs. Griffin will be teaching with Mrs. Ciupak in the classroom for the rest of the year.  Mrs. Griffin used to be a teacher and has children here at Chets Creek.  She has subbed in our class this school year.  

FCAT Spirit Week
Even though your child has a few years until they take the FCAT, we are still supporting and cheering on the 3rd-5th graders.  Below is the Spirit Week schedule:

Monday, 4/4- Spirit Week begins!  Dress like a farmer

Tuesday, 4/5- dress in mismatched clothes

Wednesday, 4/6- dress with wacky hair and silly socks


Thursday, 4/7- wear a Chets Creek t-shirt

Friday, 4/8- dress like a pop/rock star
