Good Morning Parents/Guardians,

Hope all is well! We are approaching Spring Break, (can you believe it)????? I know the children are excited and I know you'll be surprised to hear this, but so am I. (SMILE)!

Report cards will go out at the end of this week. They will be sent home with your child.

This week we will do the following:

LANGUAGE ARTS:

We will complete "Scraps of Time, 1960." We will have a round-table discussion or book talk based on the story. We will eat the favorite treat of the two characters in the story, Abby and Patsy. The children absolutely loved this book. I thank you for purchasing it for them. Learning about history through the voices of children the same ages as our students is an excellent way for students to understand how even children can help to make a difference in the world.

We will take a test on "Scraps of Time." We will also have a writing/art assignment based on the book.

MATH:

This week we will begin Unit 7. I have decided to teach various lessons in Unit 6 along with Unit 7. Unit 6 focus is geometry. Unit 7 extends multiplication and division concepts and therefore offers continuity to what we have been learning thus far. Please check your child's assignment book for homework given during the week. Please continue to push your child's learning of the basic multiplication facts. These recalls are
