Week of April 18th


  • This is a big week for us in our classroom. We will be presenting our woodlands and our woodland animal reports on Thursday and Friday. We are working hard to get our reports finished and published and ready to go by Thursday night.

  • In order to try to accommodate as many schedules as possible, we are going to present our woodland animal reports twice on Thursday. We will be presenting at 6:30 pm on Thursday, April 21st, just after the Kernels reading program meeting. Our 4th grade buddies will be coming for a special presentation the next day, Friday, April 22nd at 1:00pm, just before the early dismissal. If you are unable to attend the Thursday night presentation, you are welcome to come to the Friday presentation with our buddies. Both presentations will be held in our classroom, and all family members are invited to come.

  • As part of finishing up our woodlands we are in need of some woodland animals to add to the landscape we have already created. I will be sending home a list of woodland animals in student blue folders today. If students have any stuffed animals that are on the list they are asked to bring them to school starting tomorrow to add to our woodlands. If possible, please put student names on the stuffed animals. Smaller stuffed animals will be best for our woodlands, our trees are only about as tall as our students, so extra large or oversized stuffed animals will not work.

  • We will have homework 8.3 on Monday, 8.5 on Tuesday and 8.6 on Wednesday.

  • If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible on Thursday, April 21st, at 6:30pm or on Friday, April 22nd, at 1:00pm.
