     I don't know how to thank each one of you for all the generous gifts last week. Plants, sweets, and all the gift cards, it was beyond what any one person deserves. I feel so lucky to have each one of your children every day. They make me smile, keep me on my toes, and make me want to come to work each day. I am so grateful for each one of you!! 
Math News
     Math will be focused on several mini units and review for the remainder of the year. Please check in often with your child to make sure they are focused on the skills being taught. 

Reading
     Fantasy books are moving quickly. The students are doing a great deal of reading every day, building some excellent reading stamina. They are also learning how to run a discussion. This is a difficult skill to acquire, but so important!! Ask your child when they are the discussion director and what questions they plan to ask the group. 

Writing News
     This week we are learning how to formulate a solid fiction story. Students will be encouraged to use graphic organizers and create a 3-5 paragraph essay. 
Science
     This week your children will be reading weather maps and preparing their own weather forecast based upon a map. Don't forget to study for the test!!!
