Hi Everyone!

I hope you had a fun weekend and enjoyed the nice weather. It looks like we might finally be getting some spring temperatures!

Phys. Ed - Our Phys. Ed days are on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

Library - Library day is on Tuesday, so bring your book back, so you can sign out a new one.

Play - We will be travelling to JMH on Monday April 23rd to see the play Into The Woods. Students are asked to bring in $2.00 to help cover the cost if they can.

Homework/Borrow-A-Book - The homework for the week is listed in the grey folders. Our spelling words for the week focus on contractions and the word work activity does as well. We continue to work on estimation in Math and this week we will start working on measurement using non-standard units. Students can keep working on their strategies and facts as well. When you are doing your reading comprehension story, make sure that you use the strategies we have been working on. Read the story twice; read the question; find the answer in the story; underline or highlight the answers; circle the answer. Go back and read again if you can't remember. Please make sure that you read your book each night and record it on the log sheet.

Half Day - Just a reminder that Wednesday April 25th is a half day for students, as it is a Professional Learning Day for teachers. Dismissal will be at 11:30AM.

Class Project With Texas - We met with our friends on Friday. Sydney, Grayson and Riley B., did an awesome job as the class and weather reporters and poetry reader. We are still learning lots of different things about each other. They are having beautiful spring weather, everything is in bloom and they were out for a picnic on Thursday! We hope we will be enjoying that kind of weather soon! We are really tired of our snow suits!!

Earth Day/Taking Care of the Environment - We are finding out lots of information about ways we can help take care of the environment and protect our resources so they are always here. We all have to do our part to help out! The students did a great job with bringing a litterless lunch on Friday. That is something we can try to do every day. Turning off the tap when you brush your teeth, and turning off the lights when you leave the room are two little things that could turn out to be a big help if everyone does it!

Have a super week!
