Well I'd like to say welcome back to a beautiful spring day and beautiful weather, but that hasn't happened yet! At least we got a glimpse of spring yesterday. Hope you and your families had a wonderful spring break!
We continue to work on our geography unit and move into oceans, continents, and natural disasters the next few weeks.
In geometry, we will finish up 2-D shapes and are moving on to 3-D shapes this week. After that, we will be learning about fractions. Please continue to practice basic addition and subtraction facts at home. I encourage Xtra Math at least 3 times a week. Everyone should be on subtraction by now!
Late Start on Wednesday.
Have a great week!

Spelling Test
Our spelling test over the "eigh" words will be Tuesday, March 11. A new list of words will come home Monday, but they will be over the next two weeks cycle. That test will be right before spring break, March 21. Some of the students felt the words were a little harder to practice in one week.
Thank you!
Thank you!

Happy March
Happy March!
This week in literacy we will finish up our weather and seasons unit with an opinion writing piece telling about what the best season is and why. There won't be a test for the unit because the written piece is the assessment of their learning.
Spelling test on "eigh" words and there, their, and they're will be Friday.
Next week we will begin a new unit on geography.
In math we finished up place value and are moving on to geometry. So to make it super confusing we are learning geometry and geography at the same time!
I hope everyone got the note about the Fun Friday rewards for good behavior and being responsible. Our first fun activity will be this Friday. I made an error in the note. It should say if you are on anything above "Teacher Choice" you may attend. Students are allowed to move down to "Make Better Decisions" with no consequence. The purpose is to reward the students who are doing what they're suppose to be doing and motivate others to do what's right.
If anyone can come in this week (or next week) and do Horseshoe Trading day that would be great. Thanks!
Have a great week....... Hopefully, without more snow!
