Our Spelling test will be this Thursday due to the day off on Friday.

Don't forget to study a little each night on the Science Voc. words.  We will test on them NEXT week.  I have told the kids to study a few minutes every night so that by the time we have the test the words will be a breeze for them.  The test will be Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, March 20th or 21st.

We will continue with graphing this week in Math.  We will be ready for a test this Thursday.
This past Friday we spent another day working on range, median, and mode.  The Range is the difference between the greatest number and the least number.  The Median is the number in the middle.  The Mode is the number that appears the most often.  Your child brought home a review sheet on this last Thursday in their binder.  By Friday, it was easy breezy for us to find these three things.

In Social Studies we are going to be creating our own community.  In order to do this, we are going to need many magazines to pull things out of.  If you have old magazines around your house or you know somebody that does, please send them in to us.  We will put them to great use.

WOW was I impressed at how perfectly we behaved at the Davis Theater this past week on our field trip.  Not only were we displaying our very best manners, we were dressed in our very best!! I was so proud to be with such a sharp looking group! Your child represents you so well! Thanks for all you do to make your child the best they can be! It certainly shows!

Have a great week!
