Almost-April Showers

Snow, then rain. Spring in Illinois is always full of surprises!

Some info. for you to know:
  • Your student should have brought home a note about an opportunity to have a spring photo taken on April 8. If you are interested in an additional school photo for this year, that's the time.
  • Today, a letter will be arriving home regarding a music field trip on April 29. Also, the April School Newsletter will be arriving at your home today.
  • I have also instituted some handwriting practice at the end of each day. I can really tell some students have needed it and are benefiting from it. They have papers they can show you each week.

Math: Spring Training packet; ask your student what they have been learning. They have engaged in some fantastic group conversations about multiplication and finding missing factors. It's been a challenge for them, and I am proud of their thinking.

Language Arts: Jackie's Nine topic: Integrity; TOFGN Ch. 10; discussed silent "gh"

Social Studies: Tour of the Southeast; start memorizing locations of states for Ch. 6 assessment

Science: Weekly Reader; ask your students about it!
