Thanks to all who helped put on a super Easter party. The kids had a great time and the weather was perfect. I hope you all had a blessed Easter with family and/or friends. I know I did. Now back to class!

This week we will continue our reading groups working on comprehension and/or fluency to help with meaning and understanding of what is read. Because of a short week last week and some things that needed to be caught up on, our author/book study of Doreen Cronin will begin this week. We will be writing summaries and analyzing characters for better understanding. We are also practicing our reading of our chosen Author’s Tea book. Remember this is Friday at 11:30 in our classroom. We are also writing Shape Poems this week about our moms. In math, we are continuing our study of place value up to 100 and 2 digit addition and subtraction.

Our CHAMPs assembly will be Friday, May 13th in the cafeteria at 8:00. I am in need of 5 train engineer hats. If you have one or more or have access to one please send it. Also, TAKS testing is again this week on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. We will have long days without our regular breaks, so encourage your child to be a CHAMP during this time to help our friends upstairs.

Have a great week,

Mrs. Benson
