April 22-26

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend!! I can’t believe it’s almost May. This year is moving too fast, and we have so much left to do!

Announcements: 
  • We will be doing our end of the year Dibels assessment on April 30th and May 2nd from 8:30-10:15.
    • Please make sure your child has had a good nights rest and has eaten breakfast. 
    • Reading aloud to a parent or sibling each day would be a great way to prepare for this! We have been working so hard on this all year, let’s make one final push!
Class Play: 
Practice for the play is in full swing. As we run through the play the kids are getting an idea of what their character is like and what they want their costume to look like. Our play is “Cinderella, A Modern Day Makeover”. Costumes are to be provided from home.  Please don’t think you have to do anything elaborate. Keep it simple!  We will be having a dress rehearsal on Wed., 5/15.  Parents are welcome to come to this performance, as well as the one for the school on the 16th.  The time on the 15th is yet to be determined.

Math is going quick! We will be testing Monday on multiplying to find area and then starting lesson 29, which is also about area.  Please watch for the family letter to come home! 

Homework: 
MATH:
 Make sure that your child is doing Reflex for math and getting the green light AT LEAST 3 times during the week.  ***Even though our Multiplication Madness is over, please continue to review facts to maintain the fluency that has been developed***  If students do not complete Reflex at home they will complete it during recess time. 
READING: Please read 20 minutes every night and keep track of your minutes on our reading log. Reading logs are due Tuesday, April 30.
