Parent-Teacher Conferences-March 13th and 15th
There will be a 2:00 dismissal both conference days. If your child has not returned their parent-teacher conference form they need to do so. Confirmation sheets have gone out to all students who have returned their conference form. We look forward to visiting with you about your child and their progress!

March 19th-23rd-Spring Break
Math, Science, and Social Studies
This week we will continue mixing all the fact families together for our accuracy check. Students will need to practice mixing these facts together at home. There are many free apps that can be downloaded on devices that will make this practice more fun. Multiplication.com is a class favorite if you have internet access. Students also have all the fact cards that we have made this year to use as well. We will take another practice test Friday.
Science-We will complete our unit "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind" by studying how electricity gets from the power plant into our homes.
Reading, Writing, and Word Study
Reading--This week we are starting a new unit focusing on writing about fiction reading. We will look at characters, using prompts, and developing a thesis about a text. Students will be reading multiple short stories in addition to their self-selected books.
Reminder--all students are expected to have a "grade appropriate" book to read in class every day. (This means a chapter book or a longer non-fiction selection--not Where's Waldo or a joke book). We do classroom library check in and out each Tuesday and Friday, and each class has a weekly trip to the school library.
Writing--Our focus this week will be on self-assessment of our writing prompts and looking at ways to craft better introductions. We will also spend time in our Writer's Notebooks and on noredink.com
