Happy Spring Week!!!!

I am looking forward to our Tomie de Paola presentations tomorrow.  Our increased emphasis on reading is paying off, as you can see from the SRI scores that came home today.  Keep up the good work.  Remember that reading logs for March are due next Friday.  The goal is up to 450 minutes. 

Report cards are coming home tomorrow.  Please sign the card and return it in the unsealed envelop.  Math is getting harder, so please review homework each night and study math facts. 

Our next chapter in math is 22 and is on multiplication.  This will coincide with our timed tests facts.  The x3's are not going so well.  These are difficult and need lots of review.  We will test on the x3's again next week. 

In reading we will continue with literature centers with the book The Bears on Hemlock Mountain. 

In science we will continue with life cycles.  Our field trip to the Nature Center is on Tuesday.  Thank you Mrs. Newhouse and Mrs. Gurr for accompanying us. 

Have a great weekend....................Linda
