Next week we have PE on Monday and Thursday.

Dear Parents,

This week we were back to our normal schedule, and we had a very busy week. We are, once again, sending home Dictado and Mystery State until the end of the year.

I did not send Friday folders home today.  They will come home next Friday, May 4th. 

We still have a bit of End of Year testing to complete for the district. This week we completed the math test, next week we will complete a writing assessment, and the following week we will complete the final iReady reading assessment. We are doing our best to spread it out a bit so it is not as impactful on the rest of our learning.

Our 7th grade buddies visited us on Wednesday and shared their drafts of the stories they are writing. Our 3rd graders helped with some revising of the stories. After they finished they enjoyed some time together reviewing parts of speech by completing a fun Mad-Lib activity. Our next meeting will be a walking field trip to Miramonte Park to receive our books and celebrate our partnership. Look for the permission slip to come home next week. We will not be taking any parent volunteers for this quick trip.

Our field trip to Morrison Natural History Museum is next Thursday, May 3. Thank you to our volunteer parents (Mary Beth Burke, Cassie Egerter, Stephanie Schwab, Nancy Saha, Chamisa Logemann, Linda Gutmann, and Megan West)  for helping us on this trip. Please plan on being at school by 8:45. You will need to bring a sack lunch, drink, and $7 for museum admissions. (I know a few of you have already paid the $7.  Thank you!). If you have not had a chance to return the permission slip and fee, please do so as soon as possible. If you are having financial difficulties and cannot afford the fee, please let me know.

Homework Ideas for Next Week

• New math packets are due May 8th.
