 Dear Parents,

Please check to see if you can accompany us on our field trip to the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge.    I have one parent confirmed , thank you Mrs. George,   but I need two or three more! If you sent an email with your availability and I missed it, please let me know right away.   The Reserve has a very strict adult to kid ratio.    It will be a very enjoyable, active day.  8:40-2:30 on April 29. 

            *** Also, I hope you have made plans to come to our chapel presentation.  It is on the schedule below.

Homework:

Spelling:  Lesson 28. It focuses on suffix’s .  Test and workbook are due Friday as usual.

Math:   We have begun to work on double digit multiplication .  Please give them a sample several times this week, ie 27x 32 (write it vertically)  and have them solve it. 

Social Studies:   Thank you to Mr. Jensen, Mr. Graham, and Mrs. Brimmer for helping us with our 4^th of July in March party.  The rain didn’t even put out our sparklers!  I sent home the April PassPort  map today, our test is the day after everyone else’s test, because we will be on our field trip.

Science:  Science Fair is our focus for the next month.  If you have any questions, please email or we can talk about it at conferences.  I sent home the work that we have been doing in class.  We have gathered some facts, thought about some ways to group those facts (sub topics), discussed/reviewed  the format for the report, and brainstormed some catchy introductions.  The remaining work on the report needs to be done at home, and brought to school on April 17. 

            Because this is a science focus month, I have included a “Science Impossibility” activity instead of the usual  Ken Ken .   These are great fun and have some learning thrown in.  It should only take 5 minutes.  If you’d like some more Ken Ken’s just go to Kenken.com and you will find more that you could ever use.

Reading:  The March reading calendar is due by  Wednesday, April 2.   Remember that March’s book report is a cube with the various parts of a story on each face. It was due today Monday, March 31.   

Bible Verse:  1 Corinthians 15: 2-6a (again)
