Dear Parents,

Congratulations to Jason who served as Student of the Week and helped me so much! Jason is working on his Fantastic Falcon and I appreciate his fine example.

Here is the spelling list you will need to practice with your student:
1. arrived
2. too
3. to
4. bacon
5. a breakfast
6. usually
7. local
8. an egret
9. jewels
10. spiders
11. dew
12. lacy
13. wrapped
14. an airplane
15. pilot
16. solo
17. while

Please help your child do the spelling letter # 25 due on Thursday.

We have been invited to perform at the 6th grade Renaissance. ( I hoped I spelled that correctly) We will be playing the song "Oh Susanna" Please bring your recorders this week so we can practice all week and perform our best on Thursday.

I am sending home a Scholastic Book Form and hope you will try to order books from it. I do earn incentives (books) for our class library when books are ordered. If you are ordering on line, please let me know and I will call you and walk you through it. I get extra incentives when on line ordering is done.

We will be escalating the math for the month of April. I have tried my best to keep everyone together, but there are so many students that are ready to move on ahead, we can't wait for the others. Please help your child each night with math homework so that they will be able to keep up with the rest of the class. If they don't have their math facts readily memorized, you must spend some extra time with them to help them conquer these. It really will slow them down on understanding the concepts that we will be working on (long division, fractions, etc.) if they continue to use charts instead of memory with these facts. Thanks for helping them.
