Weekly Happenings
Greetings Students and Families,
There are only 8 days of school left! This will be the last newsletter for this school year.
Math focus: Demanding Decimals - Dividing decimals by whole numbers, and changing fractions to repeating decimals.
Literacy focus: Project Work Time - Make up/Missing assignments, What Am I? riddles, thank you letters, and 2013-2014 Memories.
Spelling focus: No more spelling! :)
Reading Challenges: No more reading challenges!!!
*Please be sure to check your child's planner every night! This nightly routine helps form good habits, fosters responsibility, and helps prepare children to become more independent in the future.
4th Quarter Family Meal - Picnic!!!
The permission slip is going home today, please be sure to sign and return it to school tomorrow.
Special notes:
We will walk to the park around 10:00 am.
We plan to eat lunch around 11:30 am.
Please Do Not send food to school!
Please arrive at the park before 11:30 with a picnic style dish to share and stay as long as you can.
See you there!
Library News
The students have read more books than ever this year! They have written books for the library and for friends and family that we have barcoded and made available for checkout. They are so enthusiastic.
Students have shared their favorite books with their classmates and recommended numerous new book titles that we have put into the library.
This makes the library so much fun!
We are starting the process of closing down the library for this school year. Please return all overdue books or pay for them if they are lost.
Students that do not have overdue books may check out one book at a time until Friday May 16 when check out will end.
Thank you for all the support—your students are awesome!
