This week...

Hi Parents,

This week we will continue to Read, Read, Read!  We will learn about the vowel pairs/sounds that ow, ou make at times.  We will continue to focus on writing using the four square model.  This week we will write about what it would be like to be the Easter Bunny.

We will continue to review equality in math and work a little on reviewing patterns.  Please continue to work on fast facts.  Many students are nearing the end of addition and working towards subtraction!  Way to go!

We will finish talking about natural resources and take an assessment on that towards the end of the week.

We will get the chance to see the recorder concert and have a guidance lesson with Mrs. Kopley.  Dr. Slunt, a professor from UMW, will also be in at the end of the week to do a lesson with the class.

TUESDAY is class picture day and individual picture day.  These pictures do need to be paid for in advance.  It is also the last call for early yearbook purchase.  Yearbook will be on sale again at the end of the year just not at the discounted price.

Reminders:

NEXT WEEK IS SPRING BREAK!!!!

Have a great week!
