Week of May 21st


Dear Parents,
As a reminder, there will be no school next week on Monday, May 28th in observance of Memorial Day.
On Thursday, May 31st the school will celebrate Memorial Day with a concert. Our class will be singing with the kindergarten and second grade classes. The concert will begin at 9:00am.
Have a great long weekend!
Reminders: Please donate a book for the book swap!
Farm Fest is this weekend  on Sunday, May 27th.

Reading: As summer approaches, I just wanted to remind parents again how important it is for your students to keep up their reading over the summer.  At this age, many of the students are just getting the hang of reading fluency, and we don’t want them to lose any momentum!
We are currently reading Magic Treehouse #18, Buffalo Before Breakfast by Mary Pope Osborne.
Writing: Much like reading, it is also important to keep your students writing over the summer. They have come a long way since the beginning of the year, but they are still growing as writers. Practice over the summer will help to enforce techniques they learned during the school year, and will also strengthen handwriting.
Spelling: Lesson 29, words with
-e
Math: We took our Unit 8 assessment this week, which covered counting money, addition, place value and fractions. Everyone did very well! 
Science/Social Studies: This week our students put together a presentation on dairy. Check It out at farm fest!    
 

Sincerely,
Mrs. Craft
