This week officially marks the middle of the school year. We have finished our Unit 3 testing and are now starting our UNIT 4 Stories.
Your child will bring home a new Reading book. (looks very similar to the old one)
Your child will now have a new reading workbook (that we work on in school only)
This new book has Chapter 4, 5, and 6 and will take us to the end of the school year.

One change in our spelling homework.
Monday your child will complete BOTH sides of a practice page.
Tuesdy your child will complete BOTH sides of another practice page.
Wednesday your child will complete a fill in the blank sentences, and ABC order practice page.
Thursday... Please give your child a practice spelling test. Just practice the words together.
Friday will be our Test ... Always.

This week we have Counseling with Bush on Wed. Music on Friday, and a special math lesson with Mrs. Pam from AMSTI on Friday as well.

Congratulations to the kids... They did a GREAT job on completing their posters on the Water Cycle. They will need to study on Monday night for the test Tues. Many presenting their posters could not explain the water cycle and that will be necessary to take our test Tues.
We have our posters displayed in the hall. They are all so unique and different from each other yet have the same topic. Great Job. Projects are always so fun, and the kids love them.

In science this week we will be starting another "hands-on" AMSTI science unit called solids, liquids and gas. We will complete a notebook on a daily basis that will count for a grade at the end of the unit. Throughout the unit we will take weekly quizzes on the material we learned that week. The students will be examining, exploring, experimenting with solids, liquids, and gases. This is a fun unit. The science book also has supporting material on S,L,&G. So students will bring their books home on and off over the next month.

Have a GREAT week.
