*** This week our class will be working on becoming published authors.  We will work on creating a class book and you can order one of these books.  I will send home the order form and envelope on Monday.  I need all forms back NO LATER than Thursday.  Even if you do not want to order a class book, I still need you to check the box that you do not want one and send the form back in.  

Poetry
New Poems for April. This has been so fun!
This month I am asking students to memorize at least one of the attached poems to be performed in front of the class before May 1st. This is a great opportunity to work on our fluency, phrasing, and performing skills. Students are welcome to memorize and perform as many poems as they would like. I will be paying class money for each successfully performed. I will be sending home a hard copy with each student on Tuesday. Feel free to click on the link April Poems or the picture to view online.

Language Arts in Class
April is poetry month and this will be our main focus.  The essential question that we will focusing on is: How do people figure things out?  We will also be looking at the author’s point of view.

Reading Homework
Our goal is to have student’s read 20 minutes per night.  Please keep tract of reading minutes on the monthly reading log.  February’s reading log will come home on Monday.  

Math Homework
Each student will need to get onto www.reflexmath.com (access under student links on the Quest website, or on the blogs sidebar under Class Links) and complete their “green light” Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday (3 sessions). Just in case students don’t remember, the class username is “Beckstead3″ and all passwords are “rams”.  If students do not complete Reflex at home they will complete it during recess time.
