What we will be studying

   Spelling List

Language Arts

We will be reviewing skills learned this year. These include subjects and predicates, possessives, common and proper nouns, pronouns, and adjectives. We will also be completing five paragraph essays in which the students must choose which method of writing they will use.

Reading

We will be reading passages with our Fluency Friends and working on improving our reading fluency. We will also be working with genre and poetry. The students will choose a poem to memorize and  recite for the class. (This will happen in May and I will send home more info later.)

**Bash-N-Dash is the 2^nd of May. Our class has been given the “Face Painting” booth to work for that evening. I need volunteers to come and work in our booth for 30 minutes at a time. The time is from 5:00 – 8:00. If you are able to help out with this, please let me know the time you can come. (Otherwise, I am painting by myself! J ) Also, we have been asked to donate a six pack of bottled water to sell at Bash-N-Dash. (You can go in with other parents for a case and split the cost…)  I realize I am asking a great deal all at once, but much of this is out of my control. I would like to thank each of you in advance for your help.

Our CLUB Cary winner for next week is Mikaela Washington !
