Week of March 19, 2012

Hello students & families,

Welcome to another wonderful week of school! Here are some reminders for the week:

-This Friday, March 23rd, there will be no school.
-Our next field trip is on March 29th to the Music Center. Please return field trip slips as soon as possible!

Language Arts
In Language Arts we have started our unit on the book Holes. Students will be expected to read from the book nightly and complete five vocabulary word boxes. All students have been assigned a classroom copy, but you are still more than welcome to buy your own copy.















Mathematics
In Math we are working on fractions. Next, we will be adding and subtracting fractions with like and unlike denominators. Remember, tutoring is every Tuesday from 3:15p-4:15p.
