READING
Thank you to the parents who sent in the Animal report sheets. We will be using those to write an expository report in school. We will be writing our reports on our chosen animal. These will be on display at Open House. We will be administering the Olsat Tests on Monday and Tuesday.

MATH
In math we will be finishing our chapter on weight, mass, capacity and temperature. We will have our chapter test next Tuesday. Our new chapter will be about fractions.


Science
We will be learning about the life cycle of the butterfly. We are waiting for the arrival of the caterpillars (larva). We will be observing them by using magnifying glasses. We will be working in a journal to record what we are learning and the stages of development from egg to butterflies.

Open House
Our spring open house will be on April 28th from 6:30-8:00. All family members are welcome to attend and see all of our beautiful work on display.




Character Counts
The pillar for April is Citizenship. Are you a good citizen? “I am a good citizen because I throw away my garbage in the garbage can.” “ I follow the classroom rules.” “I follow the rules when I ride the bus.” We will be wearing purple on Fridays.


Happy Birthday
Dawson – April 3
Ryan – April 7
