Congratulations to the following students who have already made their AR goal for this grading period:

We have several students who are very close to making their goal!  The challenge goal for this grading period is 11 points.  The reward for reaching it (with at least 80% accuracy) is a PIZZA PARTY, which will be held on Friday, May 20.

This week's spelling words are:

draw, play, too, foot, soon, high, light, right, pause, of

Bonus words: slowpoke, tortoise

Spelling Test: Friday, April 15

Please listen to your child read "The Fox and the Grapes" on Monday.  There is no slip to sign.  There will not be a test on this fable.  

Our story this week is The Hare and the Tortoise.  Please listen to your child read it every night.  The reading slip will come home on Thursday, April 14.  Please sign it and return it on Friday.  The multiple choice tests over comprehension, vocabulary, phonics, and spelling will be on Thursday, April 14.  The written test will be on Friday, April 15.  Please review the comprehension question worksheet, which we complete together in class and bring home on Thursday afternoon.  

In math we are wrapping up our chapter on place value.  The test is tomorrow.  We will complete the review independently in class today.  As always, anyone who scores 100% on their review is exempt from taking the test tomorrow and will receive a 100% for their grade.  Anyone who does not score 100% today will correct their mistakes for homework and also complete a math homework worksheet tonight in order to help prepare for tomorrow's test.
