Welcome, May!

Arbor Day was a great success!  Fortunately, they were able to adjust the schedule at the Nature Center so we had a great experience.  We had a gorgeous day and learned a lot.  We also received trees so hopefully your child will get an opportunity to plant his/her tree.  Happy Planting!

Your child is bringing his/her last "Math Fact Study Log" sheet this Monday.  We have several students that have passed all of the multiplication facts.  I would like to congratulate Landen for being the first in the class to pass and receive the gumball machine.  Woot, woot, Landen!  Even if your child has passed all the multiplication facts, I am asking your child to practice the facts at least 3 times this week.  When your child practices the facts, please initial the days practiced on the log sheet.  Your child should know what fact families he/she should be working on.  The order we will test on the fact families are as follows: 0, 1, 2, 10, 5, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9.  THIS IS HOMEWORK AND IT IS EXPECTED TO BE DONE. Please contact me with any questions.  Thanks!

Last week, we celebrated "Poem in a Pocket Day."  "Poem in a Pocket Day" took place on Thursday, April 24th.  "Poem in a Pocket Day" is where you select a poem you love during National Poetry Month then carry it with you to share with co-workers (yes, even adults do this!), family, and friends.  Your child selected a poem that he/she shared with our class on their own blog page.  Please go onto our class blog page and read the poem your child (and others) shared.  For more information about this day, please click the link below.

Have a great week!  Please contact me with any questions/concerns.
