Upcoming

Writing:
We have immersed ourselves in fairy tales all week and next week we will dive into fractured fairy tales. Soon we will begin to write our own fractured fairy tale which will be a lot of fun with my awesome writers! The kids are having a lot of fun with them.  Their rough drafts will probably come home in a few weeks for you to help with editing and final drafting. 

Math: 

We will be testing over Chapter 10 on TUESDAY.  Please, Please go over the practice test with your child on Monday evening because this one can be a bear.  The kids are working very hard on understanding median, mode, range, and large multiplication.  Please continue to practice facts. 

• ISTEP is the week of April 29^th.  Most likely the test will take place on Monday-Wednesday.  This will be on the computer, so please help us by talking about not just clicking and checking it!

• Portfolio Night is May 3^rd 6-7 with the book fair ending at 7:30.  Teachers will have wish lists and kids will preview the book fair earlier that same week. 
• Last Book orders due Monday, Apr. 30th (They'll go home Monday, Apr. 23)
   
  

Star Student

The star student this week was Anizjha. Even though she joined us late in the year, Anizjha has been working very hard to become a great citizen in our classroom. She is doing what it takes to be a responsible student! Keep up the good work Anizjha.

Poetry Writers

Congrats to the many students whose poetry was selected to be in the next edition of Poetry Digest. In your envelope, you were given the information that tells you how to go about ordering a copy of the book (they make great grandparent gifts too). I am very proud of these guys!!

 

I am also very grateful to those who could make it to the Poetry Cafe. It was a hugely rewarding for the students to have an audience to read to.
