May 13-17

We had a great time at the zoo!  Thanks to everyone who chaperoned.  The weather was wonderful and the kids seemed to have a good time and learn a lot.

Don't forget this week:
  • We will be taking our final spelling test of the year on Friday.  We plan to practice our spelling words with sidewalk chalk.  If it looks like rain we might work outside on Wednesday instead.  Please send chalk if you have some lying around.
  • We are also planting on Thursday.  No dressy clothes that day!
  • Please send in some things for making boats next Monday.  Before you throw something in the recycling bin or garbage, throw it in a bag and send it into school.
  •  Art Fest and Poetry night is Wednesday.  It is probably my favorite Irving event because it showcases our students' talents and our special area teachers' dedication.  I left last year wondering why anybody would send their children anywhere else but Irving!  
We are working on fractions and area/perimeter in math this week.  We are reading folktales and fables and identifying the central message, theme and moral.
