Newsletter April 13 - 17

Today we started  Unit 10 in math.  It is a graphing and interpreting data unit.  I will be cruising through the next three units so that we can complete them before school gets out for the summer.  Expect that your child will have homework most days in math.  I plan on testing on Unit 10 next Thursday, April 23.

April 23 is a big day--we will also be going on a walking field trip that day to SUU for Bard's Birthday Bash.  We will leave from East right after lunch at 12:15 pm and return at approximately 3:00 pm.  This is a fun outdoor activity celebrating Shakespeare's life. The students will participate in Maypole, joisting, and tug-o- war, acting out a scene in the outdoor theater and enjoying cake with the "queen".  I will not send home a permission slip, but as always if you do not want your child to participate in this field trip please let me know.

Today I sent home April's Scholastic book order.  It will be due this Friday, April 17.  Use the online code on the attached note for ease of ordering.

I know we are down to the wire, but please continue to read nightly with your child.  Remember our DIBELS testing is May 8 and our 100-book challenge ends on May 15.  Our Take-Home Library will stop with book delivery on May 8.  That is only 19 more days for the take-home library.  The amount of books that are returning each day from the take-home library are very few.  Please take advantage of this and work hard for at least 19 more days :).

Have a wonderful week and Happy Reading!
