I hope everyone enjoyed the sunshine this weekend! Last week, Suzie Dunn came in and completed auditions for the class play, The Garden Show. I will be telling the kids their parts tomorrow and I will send that information to parents in an email. They are so excited! The play is scheduled for June 13th at 1:00. We will have an end of the year celebration following the play. 

This week...

Reading

We are still working on Andrew Clements book groups. Some students have finished the  books and assignments, and others are still working. Students should continue reading 30 minutes each night, a book of their choice. 

Writing

Students are drafting their persuasive speeches. We will be revising and editing this week.

Math

We will be starting a unit called "Step Up to Fourth Grade". We will revisit previously learned concepts as preparation for fourth grade. For homework this week, students should go on xtra math each night for 15 minutes! 

Science/Social Studies

We will continue the solar system projects and will continue learning about Brazil.
