CONGRATS! This is your last full week of school!

Reading:

- This week we will be listening to a different summer read-aloud each day. Hopefully they will inspire you to create your own summer adventures! 

- Today you will listen to Ice Cream Summer by Peter Sis. Pay close attention to the illustrations. See if you can find all the ice cream cones throughout the story!

- After reading, think about what kind of summer you'd like to have. Instead of an "ice cream" summer, what will your summer be all about? When I thought about this, I was thinking I would like to have a Good Book Summer. I am going to try to read as many books as I can this summer and hope to have my nose in a good book at all times. What about you? Are you going to have a Lego Summer, Bike Riding Summer, Baking Summer or something else? How are you hoping to spend your summer days and how will you incorporate learning into them?

- Share your ideas here! 

​

Writing:  

- This week you will be working on creating a Memory Book from this school year. I know our time in the classroom feels like such a long time ago, but we shared so many special moments and memories together that should be recorded. 

- You will work on one page each day and then you can put your book together at the end of the week. Here is a template if you would like to print it out or you can create your own book following the template on five blank pieces of paper if that is easier. 

- Today you will design and decorate the cover page of your memory booklet. 

​

Math: 

- We are finishing up math for the year by mastering equivalent fractions this week.

- As we learned last week, equivalent fractions fall on the same place on a number line because they represent the same number. 

- Practice finding equivalent fractions on number lines here. Once you are all finished, you can check your work with this key. 

​

Science:

- This week we are going to combine our knowledge of forces and our creating skills to complete a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) Challenge. 

- Your challenge for the week is to build a paper airplane. You can design this paper airplane in any way that works for you. Your goal is to design an airplane that can fly. 

- Today you will work on the design. All you need is a piece of paper! If you need some ideas, watch this video to get started. 

- By the end of today you should try your best to design a paper airplane that flies. Good luck!

​

Religion:

- This week we are going to reflect on all that we have learned about in religion this year and complete one final project. We have learned about so many parts of our faith, but what is really important is what your faith means to you and how you plan to live out your faith each day. 

- Click here to view your final project. You have until Friday to complete this project. On Friday you can turn it in by sending me a picture of you work or a video of you reading your answer. Take some time to reflect and think about this prompt. I am looking forward to hearing all of your unique answers. 

​

Creativity Challenge:

- CHALLENGE:This challenge is a little different than our previous challenges. The past week has been filled with heartbreak as our country is struggling to come together to treat all people, no matter what their skin color is, as equals. People have expressed their emotions and feelings in many ways. My challenge for you is to reflect upon your hopes for our future world as we fight for equality and justice for all people. Your reflection might take the form of a drawing, poem, story, skit, song, prayer, letter, or any other way you hope to share your thoughts.
