Welcome Back!

Our class had a great first day back!  It was good to see everyone and hear about the weekly activities everyone engaged in.  I hope every enjoyed the week off. Now, it's back to business as usual. 

This week we have started a unit on plants. I'm asking that all students bring two different leaves  for our study.

Also, we have a writing benchmark just around the corner. You will notice your child bringing home small readings, in their bee binders, that work on editing and revising. These are the type of skills that will be tested on the benchmark. They will not have to write. It is all editing and revising. 

Please contact me if you have anyway questions. 

Spring Break

Have a wonderfully, restful, and safe Spring Break! I'll see everyone back on Monday.
