March 5th-March 9th

FIELD TRIP:
I am so thankful for all of the parents who said they were able and willing to volunteer for the Wildlife World Zoo field trip!  As stated in the letter that went home last week, we are only allowed to take 7 chaperones per class.  Since more than 7 people volunteered I will have to draw names and will let you know by this Friday.

Thank you for the prompt return of many of the field trip permission slips and money.  Please note  - the permission slips and money are due no later than this Thursday, March 8th.

MATH:
The division unit is a very short unit so we reviewed for the test today. The test review is being sent home in your child's red homework folder today.  The review was not check or graded for accuracy.  We will be taking the unit test tomorrow.

SCIENCE:
We are finishing up our habitat unit this week.  The habitat test will be on Thursday.  A "Friendly Notes" study  guide was put in your child's red homework folder  today.

POETRY:
Poetry recitations for "Bird Talk" by Aileen Fisher are this week.

Grammar/Writing:
We will continue to practice all grammar concepts learned this year including nouns, pronouns, and verbs. We will be reviewing parts of a sentence including beginning capitals and end marks. We will be doing a final grammar assessment on Thursday.

UPCOMING DATES:
Friday, March 9th - No School: ATE in-service
March 12th - 16th - No School: Spring Break

Have a good week and enjoy the spring break!
