Welcome Back!

I hope everyone had a great Spring Break!  The students came back well rested and ready to work.  We are super busy!
Reading:  We are learning about a character's point of view this week as we read fiction stories.  We are also learning about how diagrams can help us understand a text in our non-fiction reading.

Writing:  We are writing opinion letters about the new Irving playground.  We are supporting our opinions with details.

Math:  We are working on subtraction with regrouping and also working on some multiplication and division concepts.

Science:  Students are working really hard to answer our BIG question:  What makes some things sink and some things float?  We have done a few experiments and so far we have discovered that the material an object is made out of will affect buoyancy. 

Homework: Homework packets will continue through April. ( In May the students will receive a calendar of assignments. )  As Spring sports and good weather begin to take over afternoon homework time, please let me know if you need more time to do the packet. 


Reminders:
-Don't forget to register for the Academic Fair and Egg Drop if you are interested.
-PTO officer election is this Thursday.  There are a few openings.  Please consider volunteering for these important positions.  We have a great school because of our wonderful volunteers!
-Dental consent forms should be returned even if you don't want to participate.
