Happy Tuesday!
Here are a few things to keep in mind…

This Thursday, April 13th is a half-day! No school on Friday, April 14th. Then, we are off to Easter break! School will resume on Monday, April 24th.
Wednesday, May 10th at 6:30PM intermediate grades will have their Spring program.
Also, NO homework this week!
A look into our week…
Math: Our class will continue with Unit 8, fractions. We are finishing up the unit with fraction number stories. Our test will be this Thursday.
Reading: We are continuing to work in our research clubs, taking a look at how readers notice text structures in order to organize their learning.
Word Work: Due to the short week, we did not receive new spelling words. We will be completing word work activities with our old words as a fun review. Our spelling test is scheduled for this Tuesday.
Writer’s Workshop: Our class did a great job of presenting their opinion speeches to Mrs. Benner! During the week we will continue with persuasive writing, learning how to gather brave and bold opinions for writing.
Grammar: We continue our unit on adjectives with Lesson 30: Comparing with the words more and most.
Science: During our Science time this week, we will learn more about our Solar System, emphasizing on our inner and outer planets.
Social Studies: We continue learning about our U.S. Government. We will be completing a fun activity on the three branches taking a look at what each branch does for our government.
Religion: This week, we are talking all about the importance of Easter. Wednesday afternoon we end our day with Living Stations of the Cross in the Church. This is a great one. If your schedule allows, come join us!
Thank you for your continued support.
Have a blessed Easter!!
