Review of our week:

Yesterday was Miss Hodson’s last day.  We are all sad to see her leave.  She was a great asset to our class.  In reading we started a new unit. I will be sending home a copy of the stories in our reader next week.  We also started a unit about the earth. In math we are working on measurement and time. 

Take Home Books and Reading:

Please make sure your child is doing their reading every night.  Everyone is making progress right now. I can really tell those who are doing their reading homework.  There are a lot of students who are not bringing their take home books back.  Please make sure your child is reading their books and bringing them back on Tuesdays.  This is a great resource, please take advantage of it.  We will only have them for a couple of more weeks.

Review of our week:

We had a fun day celebrating Dr. Seuss’ birthday last week.    I am so excited about the progress our class is making.  I have seen a lot of students move up in their reading levels and math is going very well. In math we are working on double digit addition.  We will be taking a test next week. We are almost finished with our unit about animals and their habitats. I love that this class is loving reading.  Most of the class wants to get their library books out and read them any chance they get.

Reading:

The end of the school year is right around the corner.  I know this time of year gets really busy.  Please help your child to continue reading every night.  Remember to fill your monthly reading record and the Kite Flight reading record as well.  This is a great fundraiser for our school.  The PTA gets money for every reading record that is turned in.
