Heroes Hustle Fun(d) Run
Your child will bring home a packet of information on Friday. All money raised through the Hero Hustle stays at HWES. The prizes are purchased through sponsorships. If you have any questions, please let me know.
Reading/Writing: You are invited to join us for our Figurative Language Project Showcase on Thursday afternoon!! It will begin at 1:30 in Performer's Paradise. Mrs. Reeves and I will be combining our classes' projects for the showcase. We have comedians, artists, and writers that will be on display, so be prepared to laugh and enjoy our children's talents as they share their knowledge of Figurative Language!
In addition to preparing for the Showcase, next week will involve test prep since SC Ready is April 26-28 (week after next).
In Math, we are continuing to work with fractions. As last week's newsletter stated, the children are in different places with them, so we are working in small groups and partners. In Math, we will have to focus on test prep as well and it will likely make the children comfortable with the idea of SC Ready testing. (SC Ready will test them on 4th grade standards.)
