April 16, 2010




READING
We will be taking the OLSAT tests this week. This is not a test that your child can study for, they just have to try to do their best.
We will be working on learning more information on the rain forest and butterflies. The rain forest animal posters that have come in are great! The children have been working hard on their animal reports.



MATH
In math we will be finishing our chapter on measurement. Our chapter test will be next week. Our next chapter will be on length, perimeter and area.



Handwriting
We will be learning to write the cursive letters v and w. Next we will be learning the capital letters. Please review the lowercase letters with your child.



Science
Our larvae have grown a lot! We are watching them to see the next stage of development. Soon they will develop into the pupa stage (chrysalis).



Open House
Our spring open house will be on April 29th from 6:30-8:00. All family members are welcome to attend and see all of our beautiful
work on display.



We will be celebrating summer birthdays before the end of our school year. Write me a note and we can pick a date to celebrate your child’s summer birthday.
