Good morning-
It is hard to believe it is the end of March and we will be on Spring Break next week at this time!
We are on a review unit in Reading Street this week. The Family Times is coming home today. You will find their spelling words on the back of the Family Times this week. The spelling test will be Friday-so make sure they are ready to go.
The kids took the reading comprehension part of the review today. They will take the vocabulary, phonics, word analysis, and grammar test on Thursday. They can't really "study" for the test because it is based on everything we've worked on the last 5 weeks. We will spend some time reviewing each day though.
All graded tests from last week are being sent home today. Make sure you look to see how your child did.
It looks like we will be able to finish up our unit on Simple Machines this week. A study guide will come home on Wednesday, and we will take the test on Friday. If your child knows the information on the study guide, they should have no troubles passing the test on Friday.
We are also at the end of the 3rd quarter. Reports cards will be sent home with students on April 13th.
Have a great week and a wonderful Spring Break and Easter. I will see everyone back on April 9th!

Week of March 19th
Good afternoon-
What a beautiful weekend!
This week our story is called Fly, Eagle, Fly! It is a folk tale. We will work on cause and effect, summaries, and learning about prepositions. Please look for the Family Times today to check out the vocabulary words for the week.
All graded tests went home today also. Many kids did much better with reading comprehension this week.
We started a new behavior/work system a few weeks ago. It is called DOJO. The students are challenged to earn 15 points in a week. If they do, they get 20 minutes of extra recess on Friday afternoon. The student in our class that earns the most points for the week is our "Star Student." Last week Liam Mitchell was our star student. Bryan Hertel and Drazen Wilmers have also won this award.
In math we will continue to work on measurement, volume, and capacity. On Monday's and Tuesday's we've been working on OAA test prep for math.
If your child hasn't passed their multiplication fact test yet-they need to know these before we leave for Spring Break. We will take one more test this week, and if they don't pass they will have one more shot next week, and that will be it!
Have a great week!
Congrats to all the Ohio teams in the Sweet 16-especially UC!!!!!!
