May 13

Good afternoon! In Language Arts this week we are working with the letters ch, but this time when the letters are together they make the /k/ sound. We are also working on multiple meaning words (mean, bank, bark, bill, blue, etc.), conjunctions, and writing to a picture prompt. Students will be having their Unit 11 Math Test on Wednesday, May 15. We started our review today and will finish it tomorrow. Students should complete the review for homework tonight. We will be taking our last Social Studies test tomorrow. Please continue to study the review that was sent home last week. In Science we continue to learn more about our MARE unit, Sandy Beaches. We will be making our shell boxes tomorrow.

Our trip is quickly approaching! A note will be sent home Friday explaining what your child will need to bring along the day of the trip. Have a great week!
