March and April

March is Reading Month is coming to an end. So far we have read 292 books. Wow!!!!! Our goal is 300 books, so maybe by the end of the day we will reach our classroom goal. We are so close. I am very proud of their hard work.

Next week April 1-5, we do not have school because of spring break. I have sent home a homework packet and tried to put a few extra books in the reading bags to work on over break. Please have your child read at least 15-20 minutes daily so that he or she will be the same level when we return from break.

Vocabulary
We will continue to work on prefixes when we return. I will add words with with the prefixes un- and mis- to our list. See how many words you can find over break with these prefixes and bring them to class.

Science
Our science unit on Earth and Sun is wrapping up as well. The students have done a great job explaining why the moon looks like it is changing shape because of the shadow the Earth makes on the moon by blocking the sun. Ask them to explain some facts about our powerful sun too.
