Thank you to all of you who were able to come to one of our woodlands presentations. The kids had a great time and it was a wonderful way for them to share what they had learned. I really appreciate all you do for your children.
This week we will have homework on Tuesday and Wednesday.
We will check-out books on Tuesday.

Week of April 5th
This is a big week for us in our classroom. We will be presenting our woodlands and our woodland animal reports on Thursday. We are working hard to get our reports finished and published and ready to go for Thursday.
I heard back from about half of the families and almost everyone preferred the evening time for our woodlands presentation. We did have a couple families who preferred the day time, so we're going to present twice on Thursday.
We will be presenting at 6:00 pm on Thursday, April 8th. Our 5th grade buddies will be coming for a special presentation the same day at 3:20pm. If you are unable to attend the 6:00pm presentation, you are welcome to come to the presentation with our buddies. Both presentations will be held in our classroom, and all family members are invited to come. Look for an invitation made by your child in their blue folder today.
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 (April 6) to add to our woodlands. If possible, please put student names on the stuffed animals.
We will have homework on Wednesday night only this week. This is largely due to the fact that we'll be here presenting on Thursday night and that we'll be spending a lot of class time this week to do our final preparations for our presentation.
We will check-out books on Friday of this week.
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 8th, at 3:20pm or 6:00 pm.

Homework Change for March 31st
I'm going to make a change to our homework schedule. Instead of having homework tonight, we will have it tomorrow (Thursday).
We just introduced fractions yesterday in math and I feel that we need to work on that for another day before we move on to the next idea. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you :)

Week of March 29
This week we will have homework on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. We will check-out books on Wednesday.
Don't forget that Friday is an early dismissal and students are done at 12:15.
As many of you probably know, we have been working on a woodlands in our classroom. Our woodlands is almost complete and we are working this week to finish up our reports on woodland animals. I want to have a time when parents can come in to see our woodlands and students can present the reports that they have written. I am asking you to please let me know whether during the day, or evening would work better for you to come in. I want to make sure as many parents can come as possible, so I want to schedule it at the most convenient time for the most people. Right now it's looking like we'll probably be having it on April 8th and the time would be 3:25 during the day or 6:00 in the evening. Please respond by email or send a note to let me know which you prefer. I'll do whichever the most parents are available for. Thank you :)

Week of March 15
This week we will have homework on Monday and Wednesday.
We will check-out books on Friday.
We will be doing our papier mache and painting of our woodlands trees on Tuesday morning and Thursday afternoon. You may want to send your child to school in clothes that can get messy, or with a paint shirt that they can wear over the top of their clothes.
If you're able or interested in helping out either of these days, please let me know.

Week of March 8
This week we will have homework Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights.
We check-out books on Wednesday.
Thank you to those of you who brought in materials for us to use to make our classroom woodlands. We have plenty now and will start building them next week. I'll send out an email with our construction times next week so that you can come help with the papier mache and painting if you're available. Thanks again for your help.

Week of March 1
*Reminder that there is no school on Friday of this week.
We check-out books on Tuesday this week.
Our only homework this week will be a game called Coin Top-It. I'll be sending this home attached with a letter about how to play the game. Nothing needs to be returned to school, but I ask that you have your child play this game at least once every night this week as their homework. Many students are needing extra practice with counting money and this game is a fun way to get some of that practice.
Also, we are going to be making a woodlands in our classroom. We are collecting old newspapers that we can use for papier mache. I'm not sure just how much we'll need, so if we can collect newspapers for a week that will hopefully be enough.
I'm also looking for really large, or tall and skinny cardboard boxes. We'll be making tree trunks out of these, so the taller the better. I'm going to look into getting some of the boxes from the can shed, because I think one and a half or two of these would be about the right size. I've never been to the can shed before, if you know how much they charge for those boxes will you please email me. Thank you.
As always, let me know if you have any questions :) Thank you for all of your help!
