     This week, the students will learn about research reports, facts and opinions, negatives, and problem solving in Language Arts.
     The students took their test in geometry today.  The students will learn about perimeter and area in more depth this next week.
     Remember the History Fair is Wednesday morning. The second portion of SAGE Language Arts test is this Wednesday afternoon.  Please make sure your child is here that day with a good night's sleep. 
    Our field trip to Leeds Silver Reef is Thursday.  Kids who signed up for a home lunch are:Aaliyah, Braylee, Issy, Zac, Talon, and P.J.  The rest of the kids will get a school sack lunch.  
     As always, thank you for keeping your kids up on homework.  They grow and learn better when there is follow through at home.

     Thanks to all who donated to our walk-a-thon.  The kids did well running and walking.  We also had fun watching Mrs. Eggleston, dressed up like a clown, take some pies in her face for the cause.
     Last week, the children took the Science SAGE test.  It was hard.  Thanks for helping your kids go through study guides to prepare.  Now the students will take Language Arts SAGE test this week and next week, broken up into two sessions.
     In class this week, our Treasures unit will focus on Learning things from the past, analyzing story structure, and comparing with adverbs.  Please practice spelling words at home as well as read every night.  
     Your children are continuing geometry in math with angles, triangles, and symmetry.  The test for this chapter will be next week.
     I love all your children.  I am glad that I am their teacher.  They have made so much progress this year.  Let's keep them going through April and May!

     I  am so proud of all the students for their performance in our program.  They did such a great job!  Thank you parents, for coming out to support us.
     We are going strong this week with Daily 5, reading groups, math, and reviewing science concepts.  Please support your child at home with homework and reviewing the science study guides sent home today.
     This Wednesday is the Science Fair.  I want to say good luck to those who are participating.
     Finally, Thursday is our SAGE Science test.  I need your child here all afternoon.  We are going to test in 2 different sessions during the afternoon.  I know they can do well.

     I'm slow this week on posting.  We are in a whir of activity, getting ready for our program and reviewing things for the SAGE tests.
     This week, we have been reviewing the water cycle.  We have also been talking about proverbs.  Ask your child some questions about both.
     Next week the students will take their Science SAGE test in the afternoon on Thursday, April 16.  Try your best to have your child here that day.  It is easier if we all take the test together on the same day.  
     One more thing I would like to ask is to continue strong on completing homework.  I know activities can take your time after school.  Please set aside at least a half an hour each day to get the homework done.  Thanks for your support, always.
