Happy Weekend!  This week we will be starting the ABC countdown.  The countdown will officially begin on Wednesday, May 7.  Look for the official countdown list in your child’s homework folder tomorrow.  I will also send you daily reminders in my blog to help you keep track of what is coming next.

This week in spelling, we will be focusing on changing words ending in /y/ to /iest/.  The words are as follows:

loveliest, crunchiest, prettiest, neediest, spunkiest.

The content words are:

common good, citizenship, justice, rule, citizen.

Hopefully, the science fair projects are nearing completion.  Those will be due May 20th.  Make sure your child is practicing their multiplication tables daily.  We will be having a Unit 8 math test on Tuesday, then in Unit 9 we will begin converting fractions to decimals and figuring out percentages, so their multiplication facts will really be needed!

I will also begin testing your child this week in reading.  Make sure your child reads at least 20-30 minutes each night.

Have a great rest of your weekend and enjoy the beautiful weather!!
