HI!

I hope you had a great weekend! It is hard to believe it is already May!  Where has the time gone?  As we look toward next year, please make sure you fill out the Pink (for girls)/ or Blue (for boys) form to describe the type of learning environment that is best for your child.  You cannot request a specific teacher but you can describe your child and how they learn the best.  Just let me know if you need any help!  The forms are due this Friday, May 6!

We are taking our Reading and Writing Benchmark today and tomorrow.  Just make sure your child eats a good breakfast and gets plenty of rest.  

Reading Workshop-  We will continue our unit on folktales  This week we will look at legends and the characteristics found in legends. 

Writing Workshop-  We will work on writing our own fairy tales.  Since we are taking the benchmark test, we will work on these beginning on Wednesday. 

Math-    We will begin our unit on three digit subtraction with regrouping!   This is a tough concept so it is important your child stays focused during our math lessons.  I think summer fever has hit early but we still have important concepts we are covering. 

Science- We will continue our unit on butterflies!  Ask your child what our 5 caterpillars are up to these days! 

Class Brighteners-Congratulations to Tyler H. !  He is our Star of the Week! He can bring in a Show and Tell to share with the class!  

If you have not signed up for Parent Teacher conferences, please do so!  I look forward to sharing your child's progress with you!

Have a great week!

Mrs. King
