Happy April!

Welcome to our first week in April... geesh, the weather is just not cooperating!

I will start our weekly post with a plea for glue sticks... we are down to 3 for the whole class to share! Our Feature Articles and How To Books really used up a lot of glue. If you happen to be in a store that sells Glue Sticks this weekend, we would appreciate you picking up a few for us!!

We are excited to have you in to celebrate Feature Articles today! We hope you are impressed. We have begun our next writing unit of Fiction. We will be taking a new point of view on an old fairy tale! We have spent a good deal of time focusing on Point of View and feel that we are ready for this adventure!

In math, we will be continuing our study of geometry with circles next week. This unit will be competed before April vacation. There is a lot of vocabulary so be sure that your mathematician is using their math notebooks to help with their hw at night!

In reading workshop, we will be looking ahead to the ELA Test the first week in May. Next week we will be looking at good strategies for multiple choice tests and look at a practice Book 1.

We are well into our look at Government in Social Studies. We have seen the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Next week we will take a good look at the three branches of government.

I was so upset to miss two days of school this week and feel badly that Team Jones had to strain to hear me for the rest of this week. I really hope that we will be all healthy and back to normal next week!
