READING
          Next week we will be reading folktales and fables.  We will discuss the moral and central message of the story.

           
                   MATH
                          Next week we are starting a new chapter on arrays, multiplication and division.  We'll learn to multiply numbers in any order, learn what happens when we multiply with  1 and 0, and we'll solve problems by writing number sentences. 

Science
We are starting a unit about nutrition and eating healthy.   We will be learning about the five food groups and what foods belong in each group.

TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK
A special thank you to the PTO  for organizing all the special treats this week.  Thank you for the cards, flowers and gifts!   I love teaching your children. They are very special to me.  I have truly enjoyed working with each one of them this year.  I will be sad to see them go on to third grade.  I will miss them very much.
          Thank you to all of you who participated in this week’s meals.  The food was very good and it was so nice of you to think of the teachers.  It was very much appreciated!


MAPS Testing
Next week we will be taking the MAPS test on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.  Please make sure your child gets plenty of rest and eats a good breakfast.
