WE NEED KINDER PICTURES OF YOUR CHILDREN!
The graduation committee is requesting a kinder picture from each family, of their student. Please start sending these in ASAP! We will begin collecting them upon our return from Spring Break, Monday, March 18th, and they will be returned to you!
If you have any questions, please contact Renee Hill at, renee.hill@me.com
We don't look forward to seeing the kids go, but we do look forward to celebrating with you as they spread their wings and fly!

Reading:
- Reading Assessment: Wednesday, March 20, 2019
- We will continue working on our fREADom reading.
- We will continue to work on summarizing using GIST and checking our comprehension by using Author’s Portrait.
- We will continue to practice our choral reading. This is a great way to help with fluency. We read a paragraph together out loud as a class at a pace that I set. The more we practice this, the faster we will get and the more fluent we will become. The kids really have fun doing this!
- Your child should continue reading nightly for 30 minutes and then getting their reading log initialed.

- After reviewing and discussing the Bill of Rights, we are going to move into The Westward Expansion and Manifest Destiny.
- Your students will continue building their own Padlet and inviting us to join.
