Today was the end of the 3rd quarter.
Report cards will go home next Wednesday.

Math: Our test over computation of fractions is on Monday. We took an extra day to review, and that is why it has been pushed back two days. We continue to have fun with Math Pentathlon on Fridays. We’ve played Stars and Bars the last 3 weeks, and this week the students had a choice of the game they wished to play. It’s fun to watch their problem solving skills in action!

Religion: This week we listened to Mrs. Burnside’s sister, Gail Henderson, speak to us about her life changing experience in being diagnosed with MS. She told the children how she thanks God for this disease because it makes her appreciate so much in life that before she took for granted.

Reading: We are now on Chapter 7 of Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.

English: We continue to have DOL each morning and are learning how to tell the difference between adverbs and adjectives.

Vocab: Next week is Unit 15.

Social Studies: We have begun our quest to learn about the Revolutionary War. We began Chapter 10 and will continue it next week. Encourage your child to talk to you about what they are learning because it helps them to remember when they have conversations about it!
States and capitals – If you haven’t passed yet, please keep working at it each night.
YOU CAN DO IT!!

Science: Students are learning about bacteria – what it can be used for and what it can do (good or bad).

Other Info:

*Students were well-behaved and we had a good time at the St. Patrick’s Day parade on Tuesday. What beautiful weather!!

*Our lunch at Benihana is on Wednesday.
I am still waiting on a few permission slips.

*Mrs. Walton, Atlas’s mother, works at WRTV 6, and she has generously offered for our class to come have a behind-the-scenes tour and which a live newscast. We plan to take this field trip on Wednesday April 8th.
