It is certainly hard to believe that it is already April! The weather has been wonderful! Our class is continuing our study of Ponds and Pond Life. This is reflected in our writing as well as our science. There will be no new spelling words this coming week. We are focusing on our Author’s Tea books that each student will be sharing with parents on April 29th at 11:30. Again you will receive more information and an invitation to the tea at a later date. In our word work this week we will continue working with contractions; putting them together and taking them apart. Reading comprehension will remain our focus in reading as I retest the students this week on their levels and fluency. Although we have finished  our unit on money and coin collections in math; continue to practice counting coins as we move into identifying 2 and 3 dimensional shapes. This Friday is the end of the 5th six weeks.

Here are some upcoming dates to remember:

April 10th Town Hall Meeting to discuss the current budget of our schools. This meeting will be held in the High School Cafeteria at 3:00 and is open to the community.

April 12th Chocolate Bunnies arrive and will need to be picked up by parents. (You will receive a note when they are separated and ready.)

April 14th Report Cards

April 21th Easter Party will be held at 11:30

April 29th Author’s Tea will be held at 11:30 in our classroom

May 13th Champs Assembly that will be hosted by our class on stage at 8:00

I hope these dates help and I will add more as they occur. This is definitely a busy time of the school year.

Thank you,

Mrs. Benson
