April 25th - April 29th

What We Are Learning

Going back in the text to find answers to questions

Word Chunk: “oa” & “ur”
Word Family: “aw”
Writing:
Writing Realistic Fiction Stories
Fourth quarter writing prompt (this piece will be scored using a rubric and will be reflected on your child’s grade card)
Math:

Dividing shapes into quarters and halves

Guided Reading Books
If your child has a guided reading envelope and/or a guided reading book at home from any previous weeks, could you please return it to school as soon as possible. We are making sure our guided reading library is intact and ready for next year, and if you could help us out with making sure they are all returned, it would be greatly appreciated!

Field Day
Field Day will be Monday, May 16th. This will be a really exciting day.  Coach has planned several water activities. Here is what your child needs to bring that day:
•        An extra change of clothes and shoes
•        Sunscreen
•        Tennis shoes that are ok to get dirty
•        Sack lunch from home or school sack lunch
First grade will have Field Day in the morning.  Your child will be pretty miserable the rest of the day if they do not bring an extra set of clothes!

Summer School
Summer school registration forms came home in your child’s take home folder several weeks ago.  Forms have to be completed ONLINE by May 2nd.  I encourage everyone to attend summer school. Even if your child is doing well academically, summer break is very long.  Most students lose some of the progress they made during the school year.   Keep that in mind while making your summer plans.

Dates to Remember
May 5th: Talent Show
May 16th: Field Day

May 20th: Last Day of School Dismiss at 12:30
