Hello! Welcome to April (almost)!
We finished out March with a new writing focus (Realistic Fiction), a new math unit (Measurement) new reading levels for several of us, and other fun activities!
Thank you for being a terrific audience for our concert on Monday! I included photos of both the rehearsal and the performance, as a few friends had commitments elsewhere Monday evening:
Our STEM activity this week: thinking about how much condensation a cloud can hold before precipitation happens. We put 10 drops of "condensation" in the first cup, 15 in the second, and 20 in the third. The 2nd and 3rd cups showed "precipitation" right away, but amazingly our first cup STILL hasn't "rained"-since 11:55 Wednesday morning!
We were excited to have Mr. Howell, Assistant Superintendent, return as our Mystery Reader! He was our first guest reader this year and has been hoping to come back and see how much we've grown and learned!
We are enjoying our new Realistic Fiction writing focus!
Just a reminder that there is no school on Friday, April 12-it is a teacher work day.
Green homework folders with menus and calendars are due on Monday.
Reading folders and books are due on Monday.
Eagle News is due on Monday.
Library books are due on Thursday.
Thank you also for sending a snack, or helping your child remember to bring one every day, including any needed utensils. :)
The current last day of school is Monday, June 17th.
Be sure to check the Upcoming Events, especially as we move toward the end of the year...things will be very busy at school and at home, I'm sure!
Enjoy your weekend! I have to be in Augusta tomorrow and most of Sunday for the MEA Board of Directors, but am hoping to squeeze in some spring cleaning and time with family and friends. I hope you have a great time, whatever your plans!
Becca
