Happy Monday Everyone!

I don't want to scare you, but do you realize there are only 4 more Mondays in this school year?  Where has the time gone?

Progress reports come home today.  Please sign one copy and send it back in the envelope with your child tomorrow.  The other copy is for you to keep.

This week we continue to read from our science books.  This week we are reading about motion and magnets.  We will look at cause and effect.  We are reviewing in language and our spelling words use -al, -aw, and -o.  We will be wrapping up our geometry unit in math this week.

Next week will begin our end of the year testing.  Please make sure your child gets a good night's sleep and a healthy breakfast to get them off to a good start!

You can mark your calendars now for Field Day on May 13th!  I would appreciate any parents who would like to help direct students during some of the games.  Just let me know if you are able!

Homework:

Monday - Wednesday:  read for 15 minutes and write a paragraph about what you read.

Wednesday - folders come home

Thursday - Study spelling and read from science book.

Have a wonderful week!

Hello Parents,

What a beautiful day start our week!  We thoroughly enjoyed

recess today!

This week we are reading from our science books about matter! 

Our spelling words have the prefixes re- and un-.  In language

we are writing to make our sentences come to life!  Math is

all about geometry!

For a math activity that is coming up we need a few paper towel

cardboard tubes or toilet paper tubes.  Each student will need

a 4 inch section.  If you can send those in over the next week

that would be very helpful!

Also, does anyone have a die-cut machine that would be willing

and able to cut paper for a math lesson that is coming up in a

couple of weeks?

Homework: 

Monday - Wednesday - Read for 15 minutes and write a paragraph

in your reading journal.

Wednesday - Wed. folders

Thursday - Study spelling words and read from science book

Have a wonderful week everyone!

Happy Monday Everyone!

If you would like to purchase school pictures or Field Day t-shirts,

this is the week to do it!  You child is bringing home information

in their Take Home folders to day about both.

This week we are reading Dex: Heart of a Hero.  The skill we will

focus on is comparing and contrasting.  Our spelling words have

the suffixes -y, -ly, and -ful.  In language we are focusing on

narrative writing.  We will continue our geometry unit in math.

Welcome Back!

I hope everyone enjoyed their week of Spring Break!  Now it is time

to finish this year strong and get these kiddos ready for 3rd grade!

Students are bringing home their school picture proofs in their

take home folders.  If you would like to purchase pictures, please

return the order form this week.

This week we are reading a story "My Name is Gabriella."  This is a

story about a teacher and a poet.  We will be writing some of our

own poetry this week!  Our spelling words are homophones.  In math

we continue our unit on geometry.

Our homework this week will consist of reading and writing

about what we read in our new reading journals.  Students

should read each night Monday - Wednesday and then write

about what they read in their journals.  They can retell what

they read, tell me something funny they read, did they learn

something new, did what they read remind them something

that happened to themselves or something they read about

in another book.  They should have the date and the title of

what they read at the top of the page.  They can use 1 page

per entry to write a paragraph consisting of at least 5 sentences.

These will be turned in on Thursday morning.

On Thursday, they will read this week's story and study their

spelling words.

I hope you have a wonderful week!

Mrs. Kane
