Dear Families,

A huge thank you to Aailyah’s mom, Ben’s dad and Zach’s mom for helping us with Lindbergh’s Science Fair Boot Camp.  It was great to see everyone there!

Now that Science Fair Boot Camp is over, I am excited to start planning the next event! 🙂

Invitations for Muffins With  Mom were sent home on Friday.  I can’t stress enough how we need every child to have someone come for them.  If this is a concern, please let me know.  For planning purposes, Muffins With Moms will take place on Friday, May 6th in our classroom.  It will start promptly at 9:00 a.m. and will last  about an hour.

Although invitations will be sent out at a later date, I would like dads to save the date for:

Donuts with Dads will take place on Friday, June 10th at 9:00 a.m. and will last about an hour.

Here is what you need to know for this week:

Letter books:  we will study the “ch” digraph. Your child will need to find 5 words that have the “ch” somewhere in the word.  It can be in the beginning of the word:  chocolate, cheez-its, chips ( I must be hungry!)  It can be in the middle of the word:  like in catcher.  It can be at the end of the word:  munch, beach.  Good Luck!

This week’s Spelling words:  hot  not  got  pot  + mystery “ot” word + individual words

Monday:  Please bring your book bag, spelling notebook, and library book to school today.  Wear your gym shoes.  We will also go to art today.

Tuesday:  We will go to music and the Media Center to check out new library books.

Wednesday:  Mad Science today at 1:00 p.m.  We will continue with our Life Science Unit:  Living, Non-Living or Dead?  We will be comparing earthworms with gummy worms.  If you are available to help us, please let me know. However, you must feel comfortable around real worms!  🙂

Thursday:  We will go to music today!

Friday:  It is Popcorn Friday!  Each bag is 25 cents. Please return letter books.  Wear gym shoes.

Writing:  This week we will be working on our Animal Reports.  This will take place during Daily 5.  Therefore, I will not be sending home leveled books in your child’s book bag this week.  However, please encourage your child to practice reading books in the book bag as well as reading on Raz-Kids.

We will also be taking the District Writing Prompt this week.

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Ms. Wright
