March 30th- April 14th, 2008

March is almost over and April is here! The children are working very hard and I am very proud of them all!

I want to thank everyone for a wonderful birthday celebration! The children's cards were the best! I will always treasure them. I didn't realize how many little artists I had!

Curriculum News:

CRCT... We are reviewing almost daily. Don't forget that you all can review on the Internet too.

Math... Everyone did FABULOUS on their fraction test!!! We will be working on measuring this week. Georgia's Standards are to learn to estimate and measure using a non-standard unit that is smaller than the object to be measured. It is a fun unit the children love to do. I will also introduce in the next two weeks adding and subtracting 2-digit numbers without regrouping. They will see this on the CRCT so I like to introduce it.

Language Arts... We continue to write. This past week we wrote riddles! The children picked the animal they wanted to write about. Did some research and created their riddles. They turned out really cute! This week we will review pronouns, commas in a series, punctuation, and sequencing sentences.

Social Studies...  Canada... The children have been working hard again to learn all about Canada. The book and folder will come home Monday and the test will be on Thursday! It will be very similar to the USA test. Study hard this week!!

Wow, you all are doing a fabulous job reading!!! My AR chart is getting very full!!! Keep up the good job!

READ! READ! READ!

Mrs. Blumentrill, Mrs. Lawson, and Mrs. Robinson...

Thank you so much for coming in on Friday to stay with the class while we had our teacher appreciation lunch! The lunch was wonderful and it was great not having to rush eating to go pick up the children!

Character Word... This weeks word is "Leadership". We can all be a leader!

Have a wonderful week and a GREAT and RELAXING Spring Break!!!
