I have a few reminders for you this week.
1) Open House will be this Thursday, May 5th from 5-6pm. This is an informal event. You will have the opportunity to view some of your child's projects in my classroom and you can check out the 3rd grade classroom and meet Ms. Jessica.
2) The Gala is this Thursday night, May 7th. We hope to see you there!
3) WE NEED DRIVERS! We have been invited to see Bye, Bye Birdie at 9am on Wednesday, May 25th. We should be gone from school from 8:30-11am. Permission slips will go out next week, please keep an eye out for them.
This week in ELA we are working with author's purpose, phonics, and fantasy writing. In Math we are understanding 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 fractions in shapes. In Social Studies we are continuing to work on our Town Builder project. In Science we are continuing to learn about Matter. In Health, we are talking about kindness. We are continuing to work on our interdisciplinary unit on Mozart's Opera The Magic Flute.

Writing Prompt
The animal characters in Horace and Morris but mostly Delores are really good friends. Think about other animal characters you would like to write about. Now write a fantasy about an adventure these friends have together. Please write 6-8 sentences with your best handwriting on lined paper. Thank you!
iReady Practice
Please login to i Ready. You should see a red button labeled, “start my lessons”. Please complete one Math and one Language Arts lesson. Thank you!
In closing, I'd also like to remind you that students should be appropriately dressed for the weather and that ALL students need to have a water bottle to keep at school as we do not have cups to offer them should they be thirsty. If your child needs sunscreen, please apply it before they come to school. Thanks so much!
Have a great week!
Miss Jenny
