Week of April 17th

Good morning,
 
This week is a short week, parent/teacher conferences are Wednesday and Thursday, and there's no school Friday or next Monday. Wednesday and Thursday are minimum days, school gets out at 12:45. Please sign up if you have not already.
 
This week we are working on a class research project on Puerto Rico for Multicultural Day. The student's hard work will be displayed on a hallway bulletin board next week. There is no new spelling or vocabulary this week. In Math, students are working on Chapter 9, which is about graphing data and finding numerical patterns. We are also going to be learning concepts from the end of our Math book in preparation for the Math CAASPP test. I am hopeful that doing some extra Math for the next several weeks will help get the students as prepared as possible before CAASPP testing. 
 
Students are finishing up the lesson in Science Earth Systems Produce Weather and Climate. They will be taking the Science test later this week.
 
Multicultural Day is coming up on April 28th. Parents are welcome to come and join in the festivities. We will also have a potluck in class where students are welcome to brig dishes from their culture to share. I do ask that any dishes that are brought are labeled with all of their ingredients so students with food allergies or students that don't eat certain things can make an informed decision.
 
Here are some important dates coming up:
 
Parent/teacher conferences- April 19-20
School holiday- April 21-24 No School
Multicultural Day- April 28th
 
Have a great week and please let me know if you have any questions.
 
Mrs. Jessica
