We will be moving away from homework for the remainder of the school year. Spring is here and I am a firm believer that kids should be outside playing! We will be busy here at school working very hard on end of year assessments-a break from homework will be well deserved. I will still be sending "Home Connections" for the next few weeks and have told students they can still do Fasst Math and hand in any extra homework they would like to do, but will not be require the weekly homework we have been doing all year.
We had a great week back from vacation! Zoe did a Discovery Table about "Hearing Loss". She talked about parts of the ear and how hearing loss occurs. She showed us hearing aids and molds, and had us put cotton balls in our ears to simulate hearing loss. Her mother read us a story about hearing loss. Great job, Zoe!
We started a poetry unit and have been learning about probability, fractions and graphing in math. We also enjoyed an Arbor Day Celebration with songs, poems and the planting of a tree on the school grounds. In addition to that, our Flat Stanleys have been arriving daily from all over the country! We will be sharing about all our Flat Stanleys' adventures next week.
Please try to get the Field Day T-shirt order forms back to school as soon as possible as w need to place the order by Friday, May 11th.
