New Poems for May. 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 the last day of school. 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. Feel free to click on the link May Poems or the picture to view online.

Pirates from Grammar Island
I am sure you have heard many of our wonderful songs already, but for the real thing we will be performing on May 22nd at 2:00 sharp! Everyone is very excited to show their hard work!
There are multiple youtube videos of others performing the same play if your child wants to practice songs at home! As for costumes everyone needs to dress like a pirate. I was thinking a simple one would be a white button down shirt or striped t-shirt, black pants, and some pirate gear. To make it fancier you could get a vest, maybe a sash around the waist, a hat. I have collected some supplies over the years, and I would be happy to let students borrow my sashes, bandanas, and eye patches. Some students have other parts and costumes and I have talked to them about it already. We will need costumes checked off before the 14th of May. Let me know if you have any questions!

Pirates from Grammar Island Songs
A few students have asked for the music to practice the play. I’ve attached the songs here. Please have them listen with headphones so that the play will still be a surprise when we perform! Thanks!

Reading Homework
Our goal is to have student’s read 20 minutes per night.
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 Homework Links) and complete their “green light” (the middle has to be green) Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday (3 sessions). Students have practiced logging in the last week but, just in case they don’t remember, the class username is “shark″ and all passwords are “rams”. If students do not complete Reflex at home they will complete it during recess time.
- Curiosity Museum field trip- Wednesday, April 10th
