Spelling:

 Our spelling words next week will be on the suffixes -el, -al, and -le. Our test will be Friday, April 12. 

English/Reading:

We will be working on a project next week creating a poem about our hero we wrote on.  This poem will go into a class book that will be published!  Parents will get a chance to buy a copy of the published book from our class.  Very exciting and fun!

Social Studies/Science:

  State Look Book grades are coming home today with your child.  So, you can see how they did on it.  Next week we will be starting chapter 10 on the Southwest.  We will have a quiz on the Southwest map on Friday, April 12.  We have been working on why systems fail in the electrical system this week in science.

Math:

  We continue to work on unit 6 this week.  We are continuing to learn all about multiplication and division strategies.  We are also using those strategies to do area and perimeter.

Important Info:

April 10-17- IAR testing- please remember to have your child get a good nights sleep and eat a healthy breakfast on these days!  Please make sure their chromebooks are fully charged and they get to school on time.  :)
