Happy Friday

Some of the deadlines for turning in your Flat Rock paperwork are quickly approaching. If you need any new forms, please let me know and I will send you another copy home with your child. This is a wonderful experience for your child and I don't want anyone to be left out. If you need assistance, on the yellow form, there is a place for you to let me know. It is located near the bottom of the form.

We are still working hard on our Personal Narratives. Some of the kids are going to be ready to start typing theirs this next week. Our next unit in Reading will be covering the main ideas and supporting details while reading various biographies. In math will be working on measurement, and some geometry. All this and more in preparation for the Unit 1 assessment, which won't be until next week. There will be a study guide sent home for them to work on.

Mrs. Bennis and Mrs. Moore will be coming to our room next week to work on the Traits of Writing. These traits will help them become better writers.

We are continuing to read Fish in a Tree as a read aloud and the kids are writing down their responses in their reading journals. Ask you child what they think about Ally and Shay's relationship. There are a few students who have already read 5 books and are in the process of writing their summaries over these books. They are well on their way to making the 40 Book Challenge goal by the end of the year. Please encourage your child to read every night.

I hope you have a wonderful three day weekend and I look forward to hearing all the stories on Tuesday.

As always if you have any concerns, please let me know.

Thanks!!
