Week of May 29th

Good afternoon-

I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend.  It is hard to believe that we are on the final  home stretch of the year. 

All graded reading and spelling tests were sent home today. 

There is no more nightly reading, fluency, or nightly math sheets for homework.  I do hope that your child will continue to read each night though!

A new Family Times and spelling words did go home this week.  The vocabulary, spelling, and phonics tests will still be given on Friday. 

I let the kids do their spelling homework in class today.  I will also let them do their spelling homework in class tomorrow.

I am trying to finish one more topic in science.  We are learning about life cycles.  Since we are finished with math, I can spend most of the afternoon on science.  I will be sending home a study guide tomorrow and will give the test on Friday.  If your child knows the information on the study guide, then they will do fine on the test on Friday.

As we head towards the end...please look around your house for any books that might belong to my classroom library around your house and send them in with your child.

Have a great week!

Week of May 14th

Good afternnon-

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend.  I also wanted to thank all the parents that have sent in cleaning wipes and paper towels.  I really appreciate your kindness.

This week we are celebrating Right to Read Week.  Each day there is a different theme.

Monday-Wear your favorite summer hat and sunglasses.
Tuesday-  Wear flip-flops
Wednesday-  Bring your Beach Towel
Thursday-  Wear tropical clothes; leis, etc.
Friday-  Popsicle Party

Friday is also our Fit-A-Thon day.  Make sure your child wears their gym shoes to school.

We finished up unit 11 in math last week.  That was our last  Everyday Math test of the year.  We will finish the year reviewing skills that we learned.  The graded tests were sent home today.

In Reading Street-we are on a Review Week.  The spelling words for the week are on the back of the Family Times.  They are all review words-so the test should be pretty easy.  We will take our test on Friday.

All Reading Street tests were also sent home today.  Please check to see how your child did.

Interim reports went home with all students on Friday.  Please sign and return the bottom portion.

Have a great week!
