Word Work: Our class will continue learning about contractions such as we'll, didn’t, she’s, and you’ve this week and the week following spring break. Students should read their word lists, discuss the meaning of the words, and practice spelling words with similar syllable patterns.  Spelling City is ready for students to access the Unit 19 practice list for the week.

Poetry Month:  We are excited to celebrate poetry month in April.  With so many choices we have narrowed our focus down to three types of poems.  We will learn about bio, cinquain, and diamante poems.  We look forward to exploring this topic with your children.  Please feel free to help us celebrate this month by sharing other kinds of poetry that you enjoy with your child.   

Springtime Activities:  The days are getting longer and busier as spring activities are getting underway.  Please help your child perform well by getting enough sleep and continuing 20 minutes of reading and 5-10 minutes of math fact practice nightly.  We appreciate the encouragement and support you give your child to do his/her best at school each day.  Thank you

Library Books:  Please help your child remember to return or renew his/her library books.  The media center is asking students to return late books and monitor how many books they have checked out to ensure all books are returned by the end of the year.

Music Performance:   We have received more information about our performance on Wednesday, May 4th at the high school. We will perform at 5:30. Students should arrive at the auditorium by 5:20 .  The students will also be performing for the school on Wednesday, April 27th at 2:30. Please check with your child as they brought home their part last week. Practicing this regularly will make the words easier to remember when standing on the stage in front of everyone. We are excited for this jungle of a production!
