Reading and Writing:  Students are working hard to complete their research projects.  They had to take notes, organize their notes into paragraphs and then do some drafting and revising.  A few kids have completed the final drafts and they are amazing.  We will use these books as a resource next week when we talk about needs and wants. 


Science:  The students helped me write a study guide for their Science test.  We will send that home on Thursday.  Our Sink and Float test will be on Monday.


Math:  We are working on number patterns.  We are also reviewing computation skills such as subtraction with regrouping, multiplication and division.  Fun stuff!


Heartbreaker:  This was the last homework packet.  I know you are disappointed.  There will be a calendar of assignments to do in May and you will be asked to turn in a short packet at the end of the month.  The assignments are meant to review basic concepts, but also to get the kids active!  I know May is a busy month and this should give you a little more flexibility.  If you want more to do:  READ!
